So this picture isn’t technically one tagged by a Facebook or MySpace friend, but I found it on local blog The Stinging Nettle and couldn’t resist. I really like the way blogger put it: “Anything that can make a kid’s face light up like this:

…is worth the price of admission.” And pssst…that admission price can be discounted if you get advance tickets before next Thursday! (Photo from The Stinging Nettle.)
About Cotton Candy
Karlie Justus - blogged for the 2008 / 2009 N.C. State Fairs.
This is her bio from 2009:
When I'm not blogging for the N.C. State Fair, I go by Karlie Justus--but Cotton Candy suits me just fine. My earliest memories of the Fair are of the times my parents would bring my brother and I up from Asheville, N.C. for a double dose of the Fair and a N.C. State football game. Fast-forward two decades later, and I'm a public information officer for the deep fried celebration whose must-see Fair attractions include the giant pumpkins, decorated cakes and deep fried Oreos.
