NC State Fair











The department had a "team building exercize" at the State Fair today. The admission was free if you brought 4 cans of food for the NC Food Bank. I took a ton of pictures...it was hard to decide which ones to put up on the blog. I was trying to find a couple things that were sort of representative of the whole experience. I put up one of the department...we're so proud that the company is a sponsor of the fair. And there's one that sort of captures the spirit of the fair...which is a celebration of state agriculture. We made a special effort to attend the pig races. That's always a lot of fun. And we sampled a variety of fried food. It's truly amazing...you can fry just about anything. The effects of the drought were very evident. The big waterfall was turned off and you could really see how the plants have suffered all summer. This is the first time I've been to the fair in about 15 years. It was fun, but I'm good now for another 10 or 15 years.
