“Squilling” Earnhardt Jr., “Piggy” Gordon, “Rutter” Martin and “Hoggy” Jarrett of the Circle C Racing Pigs (a company based out of Newton, N.C.) make their laps on the Hog Speedway for their final prizes–cheese puffs! Read a great review of the race from the
Times-News. And don’t forget to visit these little fellas when they travel to the State Fair in just a few weeks!
The Ferris wheel at the Mtn. State Fair had incredible views of the mountains and, if you timed it just right, airplanes taking off out of the
Asheville Regional Airport across the road.
A curious goat peeks through his pen in one of the livestock barns.
The Heritage Village at the Mtn. State Fair is a lot like the State Fair’s Heritage Circle, complete with its own blacksmith. As I was walking by, he was hammering out a catchy rhythm on the anvil he’s working on here. The Village is a great place to stock up on Christmas gifts.
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.
