The Warren County Farmers' Fair and several individuals will be recognized by the Warren County Hall of Fame committee.
The Warren County Farmers' Fair will be recognized by the Warren County Hall of Fame Committee at its annual dinner in October.
This past year was the 78th annual fair. Over the years the fair was held under various names, on various sites, but has never failed to be a great attraction not only for Warren County residents but for people from throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

"Every year we honor an organization that is very special to Warren County," said Samir Elbassiouny, executive director of the Warren County Community College Foundation, which presents the Hall of Fame fundraiser dinner every year. "Everyone agreed that the Farmers Fair was the obvious choice this year."
The fair, which takes place at the end of July, has always focused on affordable family entertainment and particularly as a tribute to the county's agricultural industry. Despite a changing landscape in the county, the fair has never lost its identification with farming. It predominately remains an agricultural fair with farm exhibits and shows, animals and 4-H and FFA youth showcasing projects and demonstrating skills.
Individuals being inducted into the Hall of Fame this year include Doug Steinhardt, Col. Clinton Pagano, Hon. John Kingfield, Joel Kobert, Frank Van Horn, Thomas McHugh Sr., and posthumously, Stuart Hartung.
