New Jersey State Fair-2010

I went to New Jersey State Fair with my family which is held every year, the last time I went was three years ago. You know that even going to a local fair, with admission fees and rides and food, a family of three or four would have to fork out more than $100 just for one day. Although it is not a vacation, but still in these bad economic times, with people being laid off left and right, you have got to take your kids to these low cost fun times just to take your mind of job hunting and just seeing your kids and others enjoying life for a little time.

When we were done with the fair at night, we just found out that we were out of $100 in just less than four hours of fun. But I believe it was worth it. Besides the rides, the food for double than what you would have paid for if you were not in the fair. That I can understand, since the cost of licensing one food vendor can run into thousands of dollars.These vendors have to recoup their cost also and they understand that if the kids want something, the parents are not going to deny them whatever the cost. It is a captive audience. Apart from this, the rides were fun for little kids but I saw some teenagers also enjoying it also. All in all, it is a low cost affair and near the house and you don’t have to plan for packing stuff or going out of state to enjoy. It is a Mini Vacation for everybody to enjoy.
