One of the very best events in NC. It's like the State Fair with much less clutter and crowd.

This was my second time attending. I gave it 4 stars because of the smile on my grand daughter's face AND I was able to get my steps in!

It was a good day for it. A LOT of other people thought so, too, apparently. It was crowded. The Pig Jig was very good, too.
