How I miss the New Jersey State Fair! From the fireworks on the 4th of July, to the Sunday afternoon auto races, to the annual "Childrens' Day," the state fair was a magnet for many citizens of the tri state area. The "INTERSTATE FAIR" folder in the Hamilton Library's Local History Collection has many files on the fair from opening day in 1880's right up to the 1940's. The graphic accompanying this post was originally a small 2 x 3 inch black and white ad in a Trenton newspaper. Through the magic of computer graphic software, it has been enhanced and colorized.
