Changes to the NC State Fair for 2008

For those of you who enjoy going to the State Fair the day before to buy food without having to pay at the gate, that day is today. Here is a Facebook reply I got from the NC State Fair Facebook page: "the food vendors are set up and probably would sell their wares today. We've never had an official "free" day, but we know many people made that a tradition. Today would be the day to come for that, because the gates won't be open until 3 p.m. tomorrow. Have a great time!"

There is also an Unlimited wrist band for rides, for sale and valid October 16, 2008 only. Here is more information from the NC State webpage:
