Mouthwatering Chicken BBQ Returns to 4-H Fair

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 18 through Saturday, July 20, so come to the 4-H Fair hungry. The popular tradition, sponsored by the Cape May County Board of Agriculture for over six decades, features delicious BBQ chicken, vegetables, chips, cranberry sauce, roll and butter, beverage and desert. Additionally, fresh fried flounder will be served on Friday and possibly Saturday night.
The dinner is cooked by local legends the Caprioni Brothers and served by volunteers and local dignitaries. There are plenty of shaded picnic tables and there are always old friends to catch up with. Tickets are available on the fairgrounds from 4 p.m. on at the Chicken BBQ ticket booth. The cost is $14 for adults, $8 for children (12 and under), and, new this year, is an active military discount ticket for $12.50.
