4-H Fair Begins in Less Than 24 Hours

Beginning at 10 a.m. Wednesday, the Somerset County 4-H Clubs will be hosting the 62nd annual 4-H Fair, with animal shows, petting areas, fashion exhibitions, line dancing, puppetry, rocket launches, model airplanes and musical performances for three full days.

The event is an opportunity for the 4-H club members to show off the work they have been doing on animals and other topics throughout the year, while guests enjoy different presentations, games and crafts. Local farmers are also contributing equipment to be on display, and the Somerset County Board of Agriculture will be sharing information about the state's agriculture.

Guests will also have the chance to learn more about the clubs, and sign up if they want from a choice of more than 80 organizations ranging in topics from science, to communications, to art.

And every evening of the event, check in on Bridgewater Patch for photos and videos highlighting the day's best activities.

The fair will be held at North Branch park from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., Wednesday through Friday. Admission is free, and a shuttle will run from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. everyday to take guests from Raritan Valley Community College to the park.
