I couldn’t be happier you’ve chosen to join us here on N.C. State Fair ACCESSABILITY Day! Today’s activities are an example of Bandwidth helping create solutions that matter not just in their work, but also in their broader community. Make sure you join me in thanking the Bandwidth volunteers you see on the grounds helping us make today magical.

Top 10 “Must DO’S” at the Fair!1. Don’t miss milking a cow inside the Expo Center.

2. Be on the look out for Stilt Circus as they roam the grounds. What costumes will they be wearing today?

3. We have handwashing stations and hand sanitizer all over the fairgrounds. Use them often!

4. We now have ramps to the main floor of Dorton Arena. Head down to check out all the samples, cooking demonstrations and local products for sale in the new Got to Be NC Agriculture Pavilion.

5. There’s cuteness overload at the bunny play pen in Field of Dreams and while you’re there, take a family photo at our harvest barn backdrop.

6. Adults ride free with a child who has tickets on the carousel and giant slide. Give them a whirl!

7. Your visit to the fair isn’t complete if you don’t spot Casey Cardinal and snap a selfie.

8. Try our tasty vendor creations! Have dietary restrictions? Make sure you ask, and our vendors are always as accommodating as possible.
