Get ready for the 2011 N.C. State Fair! We just couldn't wait until the fair starts on Oct. 13 to begin reporting on its annual 11 days of statewide competitions, thrilling rides and everything fried on a stick.
In this blog, we'll touch base with some of you who are already baking up that blue ribbon cake or polishing the hooves on your champion steer. We'll also keep you up-to-date on what's going to be new and different about the fair this year.
If you were at the Fair today, I hope you got a chance to check out this brass band from Fort Bragg that Martha Quillin wrote about in today's News & Observer. I heard them today and they are amazing! They're playing again tonight at 6 p.m. so if you're heading out there, go by the Waterfall Stage for a listen.
