If you love antiques and collectibles, this is the weekend to come to the N.C. State Fairgrounds. We’ll be hosting the 62nd Raleigh Antiques Extravaganza in the Graham Building.

Doors are open Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $6.50 per day or $7.50 for a weekend pass.

While you’re there, check out the Raleigh Flea Market. Vendors will be set up in and around the Commercial and Education buildings Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
And, in case you missed it, we’re less than 100 days from the 2012 N.C. State Fair. Sure, the State Fair might be the furthest thing from your mind with triple-digit temperatures. But, for those longing for crisp, October nights and all the fun of the State Fair, you can start planning your trip now at www.ncstatefair.org/2012.
