Dear Friends of the Fair,
It’s that time again! Just as the summer heat starts to be unbearable, we get to turn our attention to cooler weather, clearer skies, and a whole lot of Fair fun! This year’s Carolina Classic Fair will be the 142 nd time that our community gathers to celebrate and experience the very best that Northwest North Carolina has to offer. I hope you will mark your calendars and make plans to attend and participate in the 2024 Carolina Classic Fair, October 4 - 13. In the pages that follow, you will find all the information that you need for the numerous competitive entry categories. One of my favorite things to do at the Fair is to walk through the various buildings and be amazed by the incredible things that people have made, grown, and raised. This could be the year that you take home the blue ribbon, but you must enter the competition for that to happen! Even if you do not enter anything in the Fair, we will be experiencing “10 Days of Awesome” this fall and you do not want to miss out on the fun. We are going to be moving some things around this year to make sure the Fair is a fresh new experience for both first time guests and long-time attendees. Whether it’s been one year or twenty years since you last stepped foot on the fairgrounds, we have some exciting surprises for you. The Carolina Classic Fair would not be possible without the great ideas and committed effort from the fairgrounds staff who work year-round to create our amazing Fair. If you see any staff members as you explore the Fairgrounds this fall, make sure to express your appreciation for all that they have done to facilitate another awesome Fair for us all to enjoy. I truly believe that the Carolina Classic Fair is one the best things about Winston-Salem, and I love that we get to share it with all of our attendees, volunteers, vendors, exhibitors, entertainment acts, and sponsors. Make sure you are included in at least one of those groups this year, because I cannot wait to share this year’s awesome experience with you!
Fare thee well, my fellow Fair folk!
