Children’s day
to be held at fair
FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP — Children (and their parents) seeking a day full of inexpensive, summertime fun are invited to Children’s Day on July 25 at the Monmouth County Fair. Everyone 17 and under enters free from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. On Children’s Day, anyone can buy a $13 wristband for unlimited midway rides (weather permitting).
Children’s Day is packed with things to do from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., including:
• Kiddie Tractor Pull (11 a.m. to 1 p.m.) where children can pedal and pull just like the "big guys."
• Kids Games and Races — try some of the games children played in the 1890s.
• Make-A-Boat (11 a.m. to 2 p.m.) is your chance to build and race a simple model boat made from provided recyclable items provided at the fairgrounds.
Children and adults will enjoy the Scheer’s Lumberjack Show (11 a.m., 1 p.m., 5 p.m., and 8 p.m.) as well as the Robinson’s Racing Pigs and Pig Paddling Porkers ( 11:30 a.m., 3 p.m., 5:30 p.m., 7 p.m., 8:30 p.m.).
