Pants Dance Revolution

Super secret Subway surprise

Bearded Lady September 3 September 3

We don’t like to keep secrets around here. Sure there’s an occassional concert lineup that we can’t talk about, but it’s painful not to reveal cool stuff about the Fair. Unfortunately, there are times we have to keep our mouths shut. For instance, we want to tell you about a sweet new promotion we are doing with Subway this year, and how it’s even more fun than the $5 Footlong Song Challenge or the Pants Dance Revolution. We want to tell you how much fun your friends and family will have participating in the contest, and how it’s going to tie in all the great things…

Dancin’ fools

Cotton Candy October 24 May 8

We had a blast at Wednesday’s Pants Dance Revolution. The event drew a big crowd around the Waterfall Stage and the Storm Squad, Mike Morse from G105’s Bob and the Showgram and THE Subway guy, Jared Fogle. The contest, which invited people to upload their craziest dance moves in their craziest pants to YouTube, generated almost 10,000 views. The prizes were pretty sweet: A year’s supply of SUBWAY sandwiches, a Nintendo Wii, a Wii Fit game and–drum roll, please–a signed pair of Jared’s size 60 pants. If you didn’t make it out to get a Jared head or enter the…

Q&A with Jared, the Subway Guy

Flying Bob October 21 May 8

Getting thin made Jared Fogle famous. Fogle was an overweight Indiana University student when he began eating Subway sandwiches and exercising. He lost 245 pounds. After his story appeared in the campus newspaper, he gained notoriety for his weight loss and became a pitchman for Subway. Since then, he has appeared in commercials and traveled the world talking about the importance of proper diet and exercise. This year, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of “taking it off and keeping it off,” Fogle and Subway launched the Tour de Pants. Afterward, his original pair of size-60 blue jeans will be retired…

It’s a revolution!

Firecracker September 4 May 10

We are starting a revolution…well, Jared Fogle (the Subway guy) is at least. As part of his 10-year anniversary with Subway Restaurants, Jared is embarking on a cross-country “Tour De Pants.” Along the way, he’ll promote Subway restaurants and 10 years of maintaining a healthy weight. As part of the promotion, there are lots of activities, such as an online Pants Dance game, and the chance to make a healthy promise. In conjunction with the 2008 N.C. State Fair, Jared just launched a new competition…the Pants Dance Revolution, where you can win a year’s supply of Subway sandwiches, a Nintendo…
