Dunellen 2013 Street Fair

On Sunday,September 8, we were a vendor at the Dunellen 2013 Street Fair.  The fair is sponsored by the Dunellen Defender Fire Company #1 and is a fund raiser.  They are working on purchasing a new fire truck. 

The annual fair runs from 10am to 5pm and attracts thousands of attendees from the area.

We brought Abbie and Katie to do wagon rides, as well as our minature horses, Ben and Jerry for miniature wagon rides.

We were set up at the corner of West Front Street and Lincoln.  The wagon rides went down Lincoln, left on Front Street, right on Madison Avenue, right on Dunellen Avenue, the right on Lincoln.  When the girls got to our corner, they did a tight turn, displaying their "side step" talents.  You can see in the picture below, they cross one leg in front of the other to walk sideways, to make a tight turn.  The wagon has a "fifth wheel" which can turn on a sharp radius.

Street fair-goers had their choice to take a big carriage ride or a little carriage ride.   Ben and Jerry are minature horses.  They are full brothers and are Amish trained.  They know how to back and sidestep as well.  Video - Ben and Jerry

Besides the wagon rides, horse petting was one of the crowd's favorites.  Video - Loading the wagon and heading out
