A bolt of lightning touches ground on the right side of this photo taken on Thursday afternoon. With lightning and thunder threatening, organizations and vendors began closing the flaps on their tents for what they feared would be a repeat of the earlier Sunday storms that rolled through the fairgrounds.

Augusta — High flyers and fuzzy creatures were everywhere at the NJ State Fair, Sussex County Farm & Horse Show, which closed its two-week run on Sunday. The fair attracts thousands of visitors from a wide swath of the region. Some come to see the animals, from cows and sheep to bunnies and pigs. Some come for the chance to ride the Ferris Wheel or a giant tractor, to see the farmers' bounty or to pet a newborn chick. It's all over now but the memories remain. Visit our photo galleries to see photos from every aspect of this year's fair.
