I would love for my family to attend the NC State Fair this year, as we have not been in a long time. My daughter has never attended and it would be an awesome experience for her. The NC State Fair is so much fun!!!
Margaret says
I would love to win the tickets for the fair. Now that I am an empty nester I don’t see my kids as often as I would like. I would bring my daughter and son-in-law and spend the day together.💕 They are NC State grads and would go to the fair when they were attending school. Got my fingers crossed.
Karen Gagnon says

Margaret says
As an empty nester, I don’t get to see my children as often as I would like. I would love to spend the day with my son and daughter-in-law at the fair. They are NC state grads and would enjoy this fair when they were going to school. It has been a long time since I’ve been to the fair and it would be a great treat. Fingers crossed.

Trina Moore says
I remember the first time my daughter’s boyfriend attended the state fair in 2019 before the pandemic and he loved it! They now make it a tradition to attends each year (2021 – 2nd year) traveling from Atlanta, Georgia. Therefore, I always purchased entry & ride tickets for the entire family including the daughter’s boyfriend.
