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.

Senior citizens and military personel will have their days at the State Fair this week.

Anyone 65 and older gets into the fair free every day, but on Tuesday seniors also get a free breakfast and a festival just for them. The Senior Citizens Fun Festival takes place in Dorton Arena starting at 9 a.m.

On Wednesday, active duty, reserve and National Guard service members or their spouses with valid military ID will be admitted free along with four guests. There will be special military-themed activities and concerts by military bands from across the state, beginning at 9 a.m.
