Greatest State Ever

On Tuesday, New Jersey Network (NJN) News aired a report about this year’s New Jersey State Fair. In case you didn’t know the Garden State has a State Fair every year. Like those you would find in the Midwest, there are agricultural contests, live stock, entertainment and of course rides and other amusements. Plus there is a farmer’s market where you can get all sorts of good Jersey Fresh produce and other foods along with plants and other Garden State made products.

The fair, at The Sussex County Fairgrounds, runs through August 10th.

One fun thing about the NJN report is that one of the people they interview is from a neighboring state that some poor misguided souls think is on a par with New Jersey.

Yes.
We admit it.
New Jersey has Guidos.
No, we aren’t one, but that should be obvious because of the tasteful graphic layout here and our use of standard English.
We are not proud of them.
We tend to avoid them like the plague.
Belmar Mayor Ken Pringle (pictured, right) did have the right idea calling them as welcome as, oh, Canada Geese” in his July 4th newsletter. He also insulted Staten Islanders and as punishment had to visit Staten Island.

. . . many of New York City’s fire hydrants were made in New Jersey?
