The produce, the products, and the exhibits by organizations such as the Burlington County Historical Society all looked worthy on Wednesday. But to me, the farm fair is about the animals - and the kids who labor over and love them. I could see the devotion on the faces of Mansfield Township neighbors and pals Nick Kester and A.J.

Burlington served as the county seat for Burlington County in its early years, but that all changed in 1796 when the county seat was moved to Mount Holly. Burlington County is located in the Delaware Valley, east of the Delaware River. It is just to the west of Ocean and Monmouth Counties, known as the Shore Region and home to a beautiful stretch of beaches along the Atlantic Ocean.
