While walking back from the N.C. State Dairy Bar, I overheard a 20-something fairgoer say: “It’s the State Fair. Why wouldn’t you drive here?”
The fella has a point. It’s the last weekend. The rain is gone. Come on out. (But feel free to use the park-and-ride options.)
About Flying Bob
Most folks know me as Brian Long, but when it comes to the State Fair blog, I'm Flying Bob. Why Flying Bob? It's one of my favorite carnival rides. Plus, once the fair kicks off, I feel like I'm flying in circles at high speed. (All that's missing is a ride attendant shouting, "Do you wanna go fasterrrrr!") Here at the State Fair Press Office, it's our job to give you as much information about this massive event as possible. That's one of the reasons I enjoy contributing to this blog. I hope you'll enjoy reading it.
