Disagree - been attending the NC State Fair for 40 years. This year was my best experience yet. Clean and organized. Plenty of local food options. Some old staples weren’t there but I was able to patronize plenty of local vendors. Honestly, it was my best experience in years
I went to the NC State fair this weekend and man, it’s honestly sad how bad it’s gone downhill. The new 15% vendor rules have killed most of the local vendors. The ones who braved it out and stayed had ridiculously long lines (as they should, support local).View quoted post on X
