If you were at State Fair Meadowlands last night, you were part of a record breaking night. We had over 41,000 folks attend opening night and take advantage of our “Dollar Night.”
“Our record attendance last night shows that despite the weak economy, people of all ages are still seeking out fun and entertainment,” said Al Dorso, President, State Fair Meadowlands. “For those who missed Dollar Night, there are lots more bargain opportunities, including Kidz 4 Free Sunday on June 28; Buy One, Get One Half Price on Thursday, July 2; and Carload Night on Thursday, July 9. State Fair recognizes that local residents want to keep fun close to home this year, and we want to do everything possible to give our patrons a break.”
Kidz 4 Free Sunday allows all kids 12 and under to be admitted to the fair for free. Buy One, Get One Half Price night means everything from admission, games & unlimited ride hand stamps are buy one, get one half price; patrons should look for the BOGO sign at participating food vendors. For Carload Night, everyone who fits in your car - up to 8 people - can enter and ride unlimited rides for one price of $69.00, and parking is free.
On Monday, June 29 (rain date June 30), State Fair is offering FREE admission to the currently unemployed and up to four of their immediate family members. Patrons with proof of unemployment such as an unemployment check stub will enter for free and may enjoy all the free entertainment without spending another penny. If they choose, they may take advantage of discounted unlimited ride hand stamps. (Of course, the Fair is also open to the gainfully employed that day!).

STATE FAIR MEADOWLANDS TEAMS UP & GOES TRUCKING FOR CYSTIC FIBROSIS FOUNDATION
Did you know that on average Cystic Fibrosis affects over 500 individuals in NJ alone, 30,000 in the U.S. and 70,000 worldwide? While progress is being made to better understand what causes this inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system, there’s no known cure – only better treatments that have extended the predicted median age of survival for a person with Cystic Fibrosis to more than 37 years.
To help increase awareness and funding for the Greater New Jersey Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, State Fair Meadowlands, NJ’s largest annual family-fun event, will be holding a 50/50 raffle each night of the fair; it will also add Cystic Fibrosis as the official not-for-profit, charity organization to its website.
