Beginning Tuesday, August 11, the annual Rotary Fair and Business Expo will once again transform the Hillsborough Promenade (315 Route 206) into a classic carnival with a colorful midway, this year with even more amusement rides, games of chance, fireworks, food vendors and an expansive exposition of local businesses. “We are very proud to host this annual Hillsborough family tradition,” commented Abed Medawar, president of the Rotary Club of Hillsborough. “The Fair not only offers our community a fun summer event, but it raises the funds that enable our Rotary Club to help support numerous important community service initiatives from post-secondary school scholarships to local food bank donations, from disaster relief to free dictionaries to Township third-graders.” The Rotary Fair will open for five days beginning Tuesday, August 11.   Fair hours are 6 – 10 PM on Tuesday through Thursday, and 6 – 11 PM on Friday and Saturday.
