One of the culinary highlights of the Cape May County 4-H Fair is the annual chicken BBQ. The mouthwatering smell of BBQ chicken will be in the air from Thursday, July 20 through Saturday, July 22, so come to the 4-H Fair hungry.
The popular tradition, sponsored by the Cape May County Board of Agriculture for decades, features delicious BBQ chicken, farm fresh vegetables, chips, cranberry sauce, roll and butter, beverage and desert. Additionally, Friday and Saturday nights feature fresh flounder.
The dinner is served by volunteers and local dignitaries. Tickets are available on the fairgrounds from 4 p.m. on at the Chicken BBQ ticket booth. The cost is $12.50 for adults and $7 for children (12 and under). Take-out is also available.
