New Jersey Said No To Great American State Fair: Cape May

For inexplicable reasons, the state of New Jersey did not want to participate in Washington, D.C. with the Great American State Fair.

This is a major event within the celebration of America’s upcoming 250th Birthday.

United States Congressman Jeff Van Drew

Congressman Van Drew didn’t get mad about the state of New Jersey not wanting to participate … he simply reached out to Cape May County … who stepped right up.

We Caught-Up With Cape May County Administrator Kevin Lare

I have spoken to several key Cape May County players; who are all crediting Kevin Lare for doing a great job in pulling all of this together.

Lare exclusively told us:

I am so proud to be leading our amazing Cape May County team here at the Great American State Fair as we celebrate America's 250th Birthday, County Administrator Kevin Lare said. Our state government chose not be here. But Cape May County didn't hesitate when offered the opportunity to honor America 250 and invite the world to visit the greatest summer vacation destination in the country, said Lare.

Additional Cape May County Heroes

The Cape May Board of Commissioners and the incomparable Diane Wieland, Director of Tourism for Cape May County … were all instrumental in partnering together to create such an impressive Cape May effort at The Great American State Fair.

Mike Donohue — Chairman, Cape GOP

We have learned and confirmed that Donohue is at the Cape May booth at this hour. He did not want to comment about his participation as a volunteer … because he wanted the other Cape May County leaders to have the opportunity to shine, today.
