Get ready for the 2009 N.C. State Fair! We just couldn't wait until the fair starts on Oct. 15 to begin reporting on its annual 10-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.
Look into these and learn
One of the most unusual experiences for adults at the fair comes not from a ride, but from the "Beer Goggles" demonstration at the State Highway Patrol's tent.
Try on the specialty goggles, then attempt to walk a straight line. The eyewear simulates how hard it would be to keep your balance and your wits if you were legally drunk.
There are usually giggles when folks are trying the goggles on, but the message is dead serious -- don't drink and drive.
The patrol's tent is near the back of Dorton Arena.
