Weekend Guide: Hightstown Harvest Fair
A weekend chock-full of events includes a book sale and Peddie School open house.
The streets of Hightstown will be full of interesting sights, food and entertainment Saturday as the town celebrates its Ninth Annual Hometown Harvest Fair.
“It’s a much bigger event this year,” said Selena Bibens, co-chair of the Hometown Harvest Fair and Hightown council member. “It will extend from the firehouse on North Main Street all the way to the Hightstown Diner.”
At the fair, there will be an international food area complete with food vendors, dragon boats on Peddie Lake, a mechanical bull and stages for live music.
There will be a motorcycle show on South Main Street, an antique car area on Rogers Avenue and a children’s corner by the library with music, face painting and McGruff the Crime Dog, according to Bibens.
“You name it, it will be there,” Bibens said.
