A Successful Week of St. Mary’s Great Fair!

MIDDLETOWN, NJ: This year’s St. Mary’s Great Fair opened on Monday, June 24th and ran through Saturday, June 29th. It took place in the parking lot at The Parish of Saint Mary’s (19 Cherry Tree Farm Road in Middletown). The fair concluded with a Super 50/50 drawing of over $90,000!

St. Mary’s Great Fair was a very impressive event! The entire lot was filled with a ton of excitement. There were rides for all ages, and even special areas with attractions suggested for “kiddies” and “tiny tots.” Some classic carnival attractions at the fair were a ferris wheel, a carousel, The Zipper, fun houses, a drop tower, and more! There were plenty of ways either to experience a good thrill or just simply have fun! There were stations on site for ticket purchases, as well as a table for tickets purchased in advance.
