Exciting news--WRAL to host Health & Fitness Expo during festival

We've just learned that WRAL will host the Health and Fitness Expo in the Graham Building on Saturday and Sunday of the festival weekend. Admission to this event will be free, too, meaning that most of the events will have free admission at the fairgrounds that weekend. Other events you ask? How about a Choplin Marine boat show in the Scott Building, a 4-H horse show in the Hunt Horse Complex, the Flea Market, a new Fiber Fest in the Holshouser Bldg as part of the Got to be NC Festival and more. The only paid admission will be the Grandstand Shows---Draft Horse Pull on Friday evening, Antique Tractor Pulls on Saturday and Lawnmower Racing on Sunday. And each grandstand show is only a $5 admission! Rides and games in the midway will of course charge, but look for special discounts to bring those prices down!
