Picture this RSS symbol deep-fried, on a stick.
Are you a blogger and think you’ve got what it takes to be an honorary member of the Deep-Fried N.C. State Fair crew?
No, we’re not looking to dunk you in grease or put you on a stick. But we are looking for a local blogger who loves the Fair and wants the ultimate behind-the-scenes-scoop: the chance to attend our pre-Fair media lunch, where each year we introduce journalists to the newest and latest foods, entertainers, information and fun the N.C. State Fair has to offer.
We’ll have a catered lunch, N.C. State Fair artists and entertainers, a speaker lineup and one of the deep-fried vendors with samples of a surprise deep-fried dish. You’ll be able to tweet/blog/Brightkite/text/Facebook/etc. about the lunch, and we’ll also give you a Family Fun Pack with four tickets, State Fair poster, bumper sticker and tie-dye T-shirt. The winning blogger will also be able to bring one friend.
Any North Carolina blogger 18 years or older is eligible. Here’s what you do:
- Publish a post on your blog about why you love the N.C. State Fair and why you would make a great Deep-Fried State Fair Ambassador. Be sure you let us know how to contact you via e-mail.
- Once you publish the post, do one of three things:
- Tweet out a link to us at @NCStateFair
- Post the link on our Facebook wall at www.facebook.com/ncstatefair
- Send an e-mail with the link to karlie.justus@ncagr.gov
- Deadline for entries is Friday, Oct. 2. We will send the winning blogger an e-mail on Monday, Oct. 5, when we announce the 2009 Deep-Fried State Fair Ambassador here on our blog, Facebook and Twitter.
Good luck!
We have our first entry!

Why do I love the NC State Fair? This will be my first visit.
Am I qualified? Yes. I have worked as a Brand Ambassador for several other national campaigns including brands like Nike, LG, and Pepperidge Farm.
I love the atmosphere of the fair, familes and friends together enjoying themselves, puts a smile on your face. it’s wonderful to walk up and down and smell all the wonderful foods(and sample as much as you can). play some games. and even check out the exhibits. it’s all part of making new and wonderful memories year after year. I LOVE THE NC STATE FAIR!!
