No Parking At Somerset County 4-H Fair Due To Soggy Conditions

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — There will be no parking at the Somerset County 4-H Fairgrounds for the remainder of Thursday due to soggy ground conditions caused by Wednesday's heavy rain. An update on parking conditions will be announced Friday.

Visitors are asked to take the free shuttle buses leaving regularly from Raritan Valley Community College, Route 28, in North Branch. Buses will run from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.

The 2019 Somerset County 4-H Fair runs Wednesday through Friday at North Branch Park in Bridgewater from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

This year marks the county’s 72nd anniversary of free, family fun. There are no admission or parking fees, and no midway or carnival rides. Daily schedules and maps can be found at the Information Booth or online at somersetcounty4h.org/fair.

Wednesday's storm wrecked havoc on the area as a tornado touched down in Springfield, lightning strikes hit a transformer and a house, and power outages were reported across the state.
