It was a great night at the Monmouth County Fair

It was a great night at the Monmouth County Fair, the atmosphere was electric and the weather was beautiful. If like me, you haven't made it to the fair in awhile I recommend that you go and have a good time. The carnival rides, games and food seemed to be enjoyed by many of those that attended.  And how can you pass up a chance to watch the always exciting pig races!

I spent most of my time meeting and greeting people while helping out at the Monmouth County Democrat's booth. I was very surprised at how enthusiastic the people were when they stopped by to talk to us. We had a constant and steady stream of visitors and must have register 30 or more new Democrat for the upcoming general election on November 4th. It was also stunning to see how many young people came up to us and wanted to help out.

Democratic Candidate for Freeholder, Glenn Mason of Hazlet, was there all night meeting and talking to interested passersby who all seemed to be genuinely interested in his candidacy.

Also stopping by the booth was Josh Zeitz, Democratic Candidate for the 4th Congressional district. Josh spent a few hours with us and was also greeted warmly by crowds.

I met Josh briefly a few months back at the Monmouth County Democratic mini-convention but never had the chance to talk with him. This time around I found him to be a very nice, down to earth person, who knew the important issues that effected his district. He also had many ideas about how he could bring about change in our nation. I wish him a lot of luck in his uphill battle to unseat incumbent Chris Smith in the 4th district.
