A Visit to the NC State Fair

 Hello Friends!Thanks so much to all who left the wonderful Birthday Greetings last week. This week I have some pics from my visit to the North Carolina State Fair! I love the fair & I hope you enjoy visiting via these photos!

This was the 2012 Fair theme.

The Dorton arena , where all the concerts are held for Fair enterainment.

Flags outlining the fence  walls leading to the entrance of the fair.What a beautiful day we had!




All the decorations in this pic are all natural and produced in North Carolina.


This beautiful tree was decorated mostly with various squash , all grown in NC. I had to take a double look at this tree ,at first I thought it had regular ornaments .


 The Waterfall Wall, a great meeting- up spot for families.


 

The leaves here have gotten underway changing. Most all of NC has beautiful fall color , but our mountains are famous for it.



Cool inflated toys





  I love this gigantic oak  tree.


      View of crowds


Cool Sculpture in art contest


   Classic fair rides


  Hubba Bubba the Clown


Agriculture is big in NC.



Sunflowers

Fall time in NC means Fair Time . Happy Fall Y'all!

I will leave you with this wonderful Bible verse :

" God sent his only begotten son into the world,that we might live through him ." 
1 John 4-9

I am linking to: i heart micro ,Blue Monday ,

Love & Prayers,
Myrna

  12. Great photo spread. The State Fairs remind us that agriculture is still pretty big in the US. Plus I like the midways and entertainment.
