Nothing says "country" in the Garden State like the annual 4-H Fair. It’s a time of fun, competition, and, of course, livestock. 

Opening ceremonies for the 54th annual Camden County 4-H Fair will begin 5 p.m. Friday, Aug. 3, at Miller Farms in Berlin. County Freeholder Jeffrey Nash will be on hand to help open the fairgrounds to families looking for an old-fashioned night out.  

Events for opening day include rabbit shows, barrel horse races, and evening entertainment. Other highlights of the evening include the crowing of the 4-H Fair Queen and the 4-H Ambassador Contest.  

The Camden County 4-H Fair will run through Sunday, Aug. 5. Admission is free. There is a $5 donation per vehicle for parking, which is good for all three days.  

There is something for everyone this weekend with events like a rib cook-off, teen dance, talent show, tractor pull and ladies’ skillet throw.       

Be sure to check out the many exhibits displayed by members of Camden County 4-H, as well as the local vendors and fresh Jersey produce. Various games, crafts and entertainment will run daily. 

Fair hours are 5 to 10 p.m. Friday; 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday; and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. Fairgrounds are located at Miller Farms, 134 N. Grove St., Berlin.
