In the meantime, we have plenty of promotions to keep your deep-fried appetite under control.

Feeling hot, hot, hot

Bearded Lady June 21 June 21

For some, the first day of summer conjures relaxing images of swimming pools, backyard barbecues and family vacations.

So sit back, relax and celebrate what’s great at the N.C. State Fair.
