“I love borders. August is the border between summer and autumn; it is the most beautiful month I know.” - Tove Jansson (1914-2001) Finland-Swedish author and artist

This week's cover photo, courtesy of Diana Dove, shows the border between the Balloon Port and the rest of the Farmers' Fair on opening day this year! Congratulations to the winners of our most recent giveaways: Tim D. of White Township won a balloon ride at the 88th Annual Warren County Farmers' Fair featuring the Hot Air Balloon Festival! He has already gone up, and said, "It was wonderful! Thank you to all the folks at Warren County Wanderings for making this possible." You are most welcome, Tim! Second prize - tickets to the Fair and 4WD Truck Pull - went to Karrie B. of Great Meadows. Diana D. of Washington won another balloon ride, courtesy of NJ Division of Travel & Tourism. It pays to read your Wanderings, folks, and to visit our exhibit at events!

There's still time to check out the Farmers' Fair through August 1, but there is so much more in this issue, including more fireworks in Allamuchy; Von Thun's in Washington hosts its annual Sunflower Festivals in August, each weekend featuring a different theme; the Found Fest Block Party in Belvidere continues to grow; at least eight towns/townships are celebrating National Night Out on August 4; the Warren County libraries are offering some great art workshops this month, and more!

The fairgrounds will come alive again at the end of August for the annual Warren County Antiques Show. 

With all that said, we got to run back to the Fair! We hope to see you there!

Happy August and Happy Wanderings!
