2011 N.C. State Fair

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.

The State Fair is full of bargains if you keep your eyes peeled. Over the next 10 days, we’ll highlight some of them in The News & Observer.

Here are just a couple that our reporters have found so far:

For a quarter, you can buy a honey stick at Bobbee’s Honey in the Kerr Scott Building. Bobbee’s has all sorts of flavors, including lemon, cherry, sour strawberry and clover.

Nearby, try the muscadine grape cider slushy from Lu Mil Vineyard of Duplin County. A cup of this non-alcoholic concoction costs $1.00.
