S
tate Fair Meadowlands is now underway and this year may be better than ever. There’s always something new to see, but popular attractions like Rosaire’s Royal Racers’ Racing Pigs and Pirates of the Colombian Caribbean are just two of the shows people really look forward to every year. “The pig races are such a crowd pleaser,” says Al Dorso, owner of the State Fair Group. The Royal Racers and are indeed treated like royalty. The Rosaire’s, he says, care for them like family and the pigs even stay in an airconditioned trailer.
They bring all types of pigs – small pigs, big pigs, slow pigs and fast pigs. “It’s a fun event, and some of the kids get to pick a pig,” says Al. “If their pig wins, they get vouchers for the popcorn stand or win a candy apple or a tee shirt, or something along those lines.” Pirates of the Colombian Caribbean is another not-tobe-missed spectacular where audiences can see pirates jousting on a steel cable tight rope high in the sky, and watch them race on the legendary Wheel of Death. State Fair Meadowlands will continue through July 10th, and tickets can be purchased on its website or through its app. So, no need to worry about long lines delaying your entry into this magical world of fun shows, rides, games and food.
