Limited Commercial Space Still Available!!!

Do you have a unique product you'd like to show and sell to 200,000 of your neighbors? We've got a little inside and outside commercial space still left to rent for the 2009 NC Mountain State Fair. Sorry, no food concession spaces left, though. Contact Cathy Pressley at (828) 687-1414 x 220 or cathy.pressley@ncagr.gov.

Off we go, into the wild, blue yonder....

Cruise by the fairgrounds and check out the chairlift---it's back for 2009!!!

Can you smell the cotton candy?

The buildings are getting so close to being ready, it's almost like as soon as they're ready we'll be ready to open the gates and have a great fair! Two new buidlings, the renovated livestock sales arena, the return of the chairlift and Drew Exposition. WOW!!!!

Advance sale discounted tickets are on sale now at the WNC Ag Center office and the WNC Farmers Market office. And to make it super simple, beginning August 1 you can stop by area Ingles Stores and get the same deals!!! And if you want to save your gas money, you can do it all on-line at our secure website at www.mountainfair.org!

T-minus 56 days and counting!!!

In the Broadway show "The Music Man," one of the cutest songs is "The Wells Fargo Wagon is-a Coming." Picture that young boy looking down the midway of the 2009 NC Mountain State Fair and seeing the chairlift circling the midway again for the first time since 2001. We all may be yammering and sputtering trying to express our excitement just like he did singing about the Wells Fargo Wagon "bringing something special just for me!"

You can use your ride tickets this year to cruise leisurely over the crowds in the charilift or simply navigate from the bottom to the top of the fair. And you can save money on this and every ride when you buy ride tickets for half-price in advance at the Ag Center, the WNC Farmers Market or beginning 8/1 at Ingles.
