The Monmouth County Fair will not open today, July 29, due to wind damage from last night’s storm.

Thunderstorms blowing through Monmouth County late Saturday knocked out power to some 30,000 customers, according to Jersey Central Power and Light, and had left up to 3,600 outages in Freehold Borough and Freehold Township still unrestored as of Sunday morning.
