Melton A. McLaurin With an annual attendance of 700,000, the North Carolina State Fair is the state's largest event and is the largest 10-day agricultural fair in the nation. 2003 marks the 150th anniversary of the fair. This handsome new book is the most comprehensive account of the people, politics, and events that have shaped the annual autumn event. Over 300 color and black-and-white photographs, selected by Paul Blankinship, vividly portray the state fair's history and evolution from its agricultural roots in the nineteenth century to the venerable educational and social institution it is today.
