Camden County 4-H Fair Tops Weekend Events

Camden County’s annual 4-H fair kicks off Friday evening and runs through the weekend, featuring fun with an agricultural bent at Miller Farms in Winslow Township.

The fair will have the usual carnival staples and plenty of live entertainment, with local 4-Hers getting to show off the fruits of their work over the last year, including everything from arts and crafts to flower arrangements to horse demonstrations.

“If you like barrel racing, pony rides, monster trucks and walking in a giant hamster ball, the Camden County 4-H Fair is the place for you,” said freeholder Jeff Nash. “The children and families that participate in the annual Camden County 4-H Fair work all year so that visitors experience a great fair each summer. I commend them for carrying on Camden County’s great agricultural traditions.”

The fair opens at 5 p.m. Friday and runs to 10 p.m. Saturday’s hours are 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., and the fair will be open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.

Admission is $10 per car each day.

For entertainment or a nature experience a little closer by, there are events in Cherry Hill and Voorhees Saturday and Sunday.

The Fusion Performing Arts Center will present Time Stands Still, a Tony-nominated play about two journalists returning home from Iraq, at the Voorhees Town Center Saturday.

Performances are at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

Nature lovers can get in on one of the county’s lecture and nature walk series, with the latest focusing on macro invertebrates and insects living in and around Driscoll Pond.

The talk starts at 9 a.m. Sunday at the environmental center on Park Boulevard, with a walk to the pond afterward.

Also, bargain hunters—remember, Haddonfield's summer sidewalk sale runs through Saturday afternoon.
