First Place winners of fair released

The Monmouth County 4-H Association on Thursday released the results of its events and competitions from the 2011 Monmouth County Fair held at the end of July.

Hundreds of local youth, from kindergarten through one year passed high school, participated in the five-day event held at East Freehold Showgrounds in Freehold Township, according to a release from the county.

For the 4-H Association, the annual Monmouth County Fair is a showcase of the many achievements and skills that 4‐H members have learned throughout the year, the release says.

We are always welcoming new members to try 4-H in an area that interests them.”
