NORTH CAROLINA STATE FAIR HISTORY
The first State Fair was founded in October, 1853 by tine State Agricultural
Society. One of the earliest resolutions approved was that the Society sponsor a
cattle show and an exhibition of domestic manufacturers. It was planned to offer
premiums to farmers who developed better practices for crop improvement, or
designed and built more effective implements, immediately plans were underway
toward the first State Fair to spread constructive agricultural information.
The site for the first fair was a 16-acre tract about 10 blocks east of the Capitol
in Raleigh. In the Raleigh Register, the city's weekly newspaper, a week before the
big event ". . . the entrance fee at the gate will be 25 cents for a single person, and $1
for a carriage; and 50 cents for a buggy." The City of Raleigh contributed $25.00
toward the fair and receipts amounted to $3,000. Estimated attendance was four to
six thousand. It was highly successful. An editorial appearing in the Raleigh Register
Sunday morning October 22, 1853, allowed that:
"Nearly every section of the State, and every industrial pursuit within its
borders, were represented. The East sent its fine staples and its blooded stock, the
West its splendid cattle and its rich minerals. The farmer poured in his agricultural
products, the mechanic brought forward splendid specimens of his skill, the native
artist exhibited the productions of his pen or his pencil, and the ladies of the State,
never behind in any good work or beneficient object crowned the excellence of the
whole with the multiplied beauties which nature had yielded to their culture, and the
varied and tasteful attractions which had sprung their handicraft."
The fair was moved in 1873 to what was then described as a "55 acre broom
sage field comprising an eminence known as 'Cook's Hill on Hillsboro Road some 300
yards from the N.C. and Augusta Air Line Railroad, one and one-quarter miles west of
the city limits of Raleigh." This is now a residential and business district across from
the campus of N.C. State University. The Raleigh Little Theatre now occupies the site.
The Agricultural Society developed these grounds at a cost of more than
$50,000. The buildings consisted of a three-story octagon-shaped exhibit hall, 250
feet long and 44 feet deep. There were two wings designed as Farmers and
Mechanics Halls. A 200 x 44 foot shed housed the machinery display and a three-story
grandstand, judges' stand and one-half mile of railroad tracks completed the
permanent structures. The offices and dressing rooms were on the first floor of the
grandstand. The second deck was the spectators' area, and the third floor was called
"Tete-a-Tete Hall" where one could enjoy a chair and privacy for an extra 25 cents.
By 1895 the Agricultural Society's show and exhibition had become the main
annual event among rural Tar Heels.
Politics and reunions were a big part of the fair in 1903. Confederate veterans
gathered at the fair and reminisced the big battles and hard times of '65 and '66.
President Theodore Roosevelt spoke to fairgoers in 1905 and was followed in
1907 by William Jennings Bryan. Speech-making was another major attraction of
early fairs. Bryan, the famed "silver-tongued" orator, had already delivered his
famous cross of gold speech and lost two elections. His address to North Carolin-ians
undoubtedly was part of his third unsuccessful race for the presidency.
The Agricultural Society conducted the State Fair for 73 years. It was
discontinued from 1860 through 1866 during the Civil War and Reconstruction period,
and in 1918 during World War I and influenza epidemic. The fair yielded in 1884 to a
month long "North Carolina Exposition" held on the fairgrounds.
In 1924 the society requested aid from the state and City of Raleigh. The first
State Fair Board was appointed by Governor McLean in 1925 with representatives
from the State, City and Agricultural Society. After this, the society disbanded. There
was no State Fair in 1926 and 1927. The late Governor J. Melville Broughton suc-ceeded
in convincing the Legislature to designate 200 acres of land to the State Fair.
10
Thus, the State Fair moved in 1928 to its present site with additional land granted in
1952 .
The State Fair was placed under the auspices of the Department of Agricul-ture
in 1930. The various committees continued to operate the fair until 1933 when
the Board of Agriculture leased the fair to George Hamid for operation on a commer-cial
basis.
The late Governor W. Kerr Scott returned the State Fair to the management of
the Department of Agriculture in 1937 when he took office as Commissioner of
Agriculture. That year in excess of $12,000 was paid out in educational exhibitor
premiums, and by 1948 this figure had reached more than $70,000. Currently the
figure exceeds $240,000.
Dr. J.S. Dorton of Shelby was appointed manager of the new State Fair,
Division of the Department of Agriculture, in 1937. Immediately the fair was no longer
a burden and showed a profit of over $8,000. The profits have increased yearly and
have been turned back into improvements for buildings and grounds.
It was in 1948 when entertainment became a big part of the State Fair. James
E. Strates Shows has been a regular feature since that time and during this same
year Bascom Lamar Lunsford brought the first Folk Festival, a feature that is still
going strong.
The N.C. General Assembly approved funds in the late 40's for construction of
a year-round facility to serve agriculture, industry, commerce and the general
welfare of the state. This center for educational, inspirational and recreational
events was completed in 1952 and named the J.S. Dorton Arena. The arena's unique
architectural design won it acclaim as one of the significant structures of recent
times.
Dr. Dorton died in 1961 and state Agriculture Commissioner L.Y. Ballentine
assumed his duties until his death in 1964. It was in 1961 that the fair operated six
days for the first time. Robert W. Shoffner, an assistant manager of the fair from
1947 to 1960 was appointed by James A. Graham to complete production of the '64
fair. Arthur K. Pitzer was named permanent manager in January, 1965 by Commis-sioner
Graham. In 1968 the Board of Agriculture approved extending the fair's length
to nine days beginning in 1969. This set the stage for the 1970's, which was to be a
decade of significant growth.
Four new structures were completed: The Gov. W. Kerr Scott Building
(1972); Gov. James E. Holshouser, Jr. Building (1974); Jim Graham Building (1975);
Forestry Resources Center (1976); and Gov. James B. Hunt, Jr. Horse Complex
(1983). An ambitious grounds improvement program of landscaping, paving, curbing
and guttering was implemented. Work was also begun on Heritage Circle, an area
near the fairgrounds lake set aside to highlight cultural history of the state. One of
the first Heritage Circle projects was an authentic 18th century school house
donated in 1975. The 1978 North Carolina Legislature authorized funds used by the
fair to purchase an additional 144 acres of land adjacent to the grounds. The
acquisition brougt the fairgrounds to 344 total acres.
A program of popular special exhibits was inaugurated. In 1972 the fair
sponsored the world's largest space-related educational exhibit which was viewed
by an estimated 250,000 people. A series of exhibits highlighting different N.C. field
commodities each year stirred new interest and pride in the state's agricultural
tradition, particularly among the non-farming public. Several programs motivated in
part by economic concerns of fairgoers were also initiated. In 1970 senior citizens
were admitted to the fair free of charge. The same year the Century Farm Families
program was launched. In 1974 a package of free indoor entertainment by major
performers was first offered and quickly became one of the Fair's most popular and
11
successful features. A year later a program was initiated offering advance discounts
for ride costs and gate admission.
Efforts to speak to the wishes of the fairgoers paid off handsomely at the gate.
Attendance averaged 570,000 in the 1970's, 670,000 in the 1980's, 700,000 in the
1990's, and peaked at 846,724 in 2000. President Gerald R. Ford in 1976 and President
George Herbert Herbert Walker Bush in 1992 campaigned at the Fair, addressing fair
patrons on both occasions.
In 1983, Sam G. Rand was named fair manager succeeding Art Pitzer who
retired. A new horse facility (Gov. James B. Hunt, Jr. Horse Complex) was opened,
housing up to 500 head of horses.
During the years 1984-1993, the following improvements were made: new
restroom facilities at Gate 8 and at the Grandstand; underground electrical distribu-tion
system installed; new handicapped restrooms in Dorton Arena; new roofs on
Scott Building, Graham Building, Dorton Arena, Holshouser Building, and Education &
Commercial Buildings; new roof and seats in Grandstand; remodeled Hobby & Crafts
Building; paved midway area and other parking lots; new outdoor public address
system; additions to storm drainage system; landscaping around Scott Building,
Holshouser Building, and Education & Commercial Buildings; new box seats in Hunt
Horse Complex and new offices and restaurant addition to Hunt Horse Complex.
Renovation of Sam G. Rand Grandstand racetrack to include harness racing; and
demolished Industrial and Poultry Buildings.
On September 14, 1996, President William J. Clinton visited the fairgrounds to
address the National Guard, Federal Emergency Management Agency, and Depart-ment
of Transportation workers who were using the fairgrounds as an emergency
staging area to clean up the disaster caused by Hurricane Fran.
In 1997, Wesley V. Wyatt was named Fair Manager following the death of Sam
Rand.
The fair celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Folk Festival in 1998, and
invited back many of the winners of the Bascom Lamar Lunsford Trophy for encore
performances at the Folk Festival. The Strates Shows celebrated their 50th anniver-sary
at the N.C. State Fair.
Attendance, almost perfect weather, and special celebrations made 2000 a
record year for the N.C. State Fair. The State Fair posted record attendance with
846,724 attendees passing through the gates during the 10-day period. More than
2.3 million visitors attended 369 events at the fairgrounds during the year. The State
Fairgrounds operates on a year-round basis and are enterprise funded, receiving no
appropriated monies except for large capital improvements. There are 50 permanent
employees.
$1 .5 million dollars in renovations and improvements to the Education &
Commercial Buildings were completed in early 1999. Additional renovations were
made at the L.R. Harrill Center dining hall and dormitories. A paving project covered
many of the dirt roads between the barns at the Hunt Horse Complex, and restrooms
in those stall buildings were renovated as well. Major renovations were done to the
Graham Building and improvements to the Hunt Horse Complex took place in 1999 and
2000. A program of grounds improvements to the Flower Show area. Grist Mill and
paving a 250 car handicapped parking lot took place at that time as well.
A landmark for past generations of fair visitors, the Helen Ida Kirk Graham
Waterfall, was dedicated on October 14, 1999.
Commissioner Jim Graham retired at the expiration of his term in January 2001
.
Meg Scott Phipps was sworn in as the 13th Commissioner of Agriculture since 1877.
The Department of Agriculture was formed by the General Assembly of 1876-1877.

INFORMATION AND GENERAL RULES FOR EXHIBITORS AND PATRONS
Exhibitors and patrons are sincerely requested to make constructive criticisms
and offer helpful suggestions toward bettering any part or department of this, YOUR
STATE FAIR.
Please report any discourtesies by gatemen, concessionaires, showmen, or
others connected with the Fair. If, for any reason, there is a misunderstanding about
admission at gates or elsewhere, please pay the admission price asked, take a
receipt for same, and come directly to the Manager's office. Please do not block
traffic and delay others by prolonged arguments with ticket-sellers, gatemen and
ticket-takers who are working on strict orders from the management and are not
allowed to vary from them.
Concessions and attractions are granted privileges on the grounds to supply
the necessary wants, comforts, conveniences and pleasures of the patrons. The
management will not accept or knowingly allow the continuance of any concession,
show or other attractions of a questionable nature or a demoralizing tendency nor
will any concession be permitted where the business is conducted in other than a
legitimate and legal manner.
Drunkenness, quarreling, or the use of profane or obscene language will not
be allowed on the grounds. No begging will be permitted.
No peddling, hawking, or selling of any kind will be allowed in the buildings or
on the grounds except by special license obtained from the Manager.
All dining halls, lunch stands, refreshment booths, and other places dispensing
food and beverage must be substantial in structure and neat in appearance. They
must meet all health regulations and must sell only good, wholesome food and pure
honest goods at reasonable prices which must be approved by the Fair management
and displayed in a prominent place. No soft drinks may be sold in bottles.
Parties owning buildings upon the State Fair grounds must notify the manager
thirty (30) days prior to the opening of the Fair as to whether they desire to occupy
the same or not, and if so, make arrangements with the superintendent of the
department for such occupancy. Failure to comply with the provisions of this rule will
cause the forfeiture of the use of such building or buildings by the Fair management.
Any party or parties, firm or corporation owning buildings or material upon the
State Fairgrounds, without lease, or whose lease has expired, who shall fail to
remove same upon order of the Manager within the time specified, shall forfeit all
claim thereto, which expense of claim must be paid before material is released to the
owner.
The management of the State Fair reserves the right to amend, add to and
interpret the foregoing and following Rules and Regulations, and to arbitrarily settle
and determine all questions and differences in regard thereto, or otherwise arising
out of, connected with, or incident to the Fair. In the event of conflict between the
General Rules and the special rules which appear as headnotes of the various
divisions and departments of the Fair, the latter will take precedence.
Disregard of any rule, misrepresentation on the part of the exhibitor, conces-sionaire
or patrons will forfeit all premiums won, privileges granted, fees paid, and
rights to further participation in the Fair.

1 7 GENERAL RULES
EXHIBITS AND EXHIBITORS
The dates on which your exhibits must be in place at State Fair VARY FROM
ONE DEPARTMENT TO ANOTHER. These dates are set out in the Department Headings
and Rules and Regulations. Check these dates carefully so you can get your exhibits
INPLACEATTHEPROPERTIMETOBEJUDGED.
UNCLAIMED EXHIBITS FROM COMPETITIVE DEPARTMENTS, will be considered
abandoned if not called for within one week after the official closing of the Fair, and
may be disposed of as the Manager of the Fair sees fit. SEE SPECIAL RULES for the
Culinary and Horticulture Departments.
Remember! All exhibits must be officially entered in the Fair on official printed
forms provided for that purpose, before the closing date for entries in the department.
No article or animal will be entitled to space or considered in the judging until proper
entry has been made. Removal of exhibits before the date and time specified will be
cause for forfeit of all premiums won, all fees paid, and the right to further participation
in the Fair.
In all but livestock departments, entries and exhibits will remain in place through
the entire fair. Release times are scheduled for the day following the fair due to the
lack of parking available nearby for those to pick up entries or exhibits, and in an effort
to keep vehicles off the grounds during crowded conditions. The regulation will also
assure those attending the fair during the evening of the final day of seeing the same
exhibits and entries as those attending earlier.
All exhibits will be numbered and recorded in the books of the proper depart-ment
and class and exhibit tag with corresponding numbers will be issued. This tag
must be securely attached to the exhibit and must remain on the exhibit throughout the
Fair (except that exhibit tags issued for livestock and poultry may be conspicuously
displayed upon the stall, pen or coop). ENTRY TAGS WILL NOT BE MAILED but will be
available, at the Entry Department, Administration Building.
Once the exhibit is numbered and tagged, it should be delivered to the Depart-ment
Superintendent or Director who will allocate space and either personally arrange
the exhibit in a suitable and attractive display or direct such action by the exhibitor. The
State Fair assumes no responsibility for the incorrect tagging of exhibits.
All exhibitors are urged to personally bring their exhibits to the Fair and enjoy the
educational and recreational advantages of the annual exposition. However exhibits
may be shipped or mailed to: N.C. STATE FAIR, 1025 BLUE RIDGE BLVD., RALEIGH, N.C.
27607, and they will be carefully handled, officially entered, tagged, and otherwise
treated in the same manner as previously described. They will be given the same
consideration with regard to display and judging as exhibits personally delivered.
All exhibits shipped or mailed MUST BE PREPAID. No transportation charges for
express, postage, freight or drayage will be paid by the Fair. Shipments should be
carefully labeled, accompanied by a bill of lading, and properly identified inside and
outside the package as to the department, class and premium number under which
they have been previously entered. They should be shipped or mailed at least a week
or 10 days prior to the opening of the Fair. The management will not be responsible for
delayed shipments which arrive at the Fair too late to be considered in the judging.
Division Directors and Department Superintendents will have full authority over
allocation of space, and will have direct supervision of all exhibits which are consid-ered
on exhibition as a part of the Fair's attractions, subject to use as these Directors
and Superintendents see fit to add to the educational values of the Fair. Livestock able
to be led or driven, or which will follow, must participate in parades and group
exhibitions as directed by the Department Superintendent.
All livestock must be cared for by the exhibitor except as noted in the Junior
Dairy Cattle and Market Cattle shows. Stalls and pens will be furnished bedding before
GENERAL RULES 18
the Fair free of charge. Thereafter exhibitors will be required to furnish their own
bedding and keep all stalls and pens clean. Feed and straw will be sold on the grounds
at prevailing prices.
When exhibit tags are issued by the Entry Department for each article entered, a
stub with a duplicate number will be given the exhibitor to serve as his claim check to
recover and secure the release of his exhibit. Claim checks should be guarded
carefully, since Department Superintendents and Directors are not allowed to release
any exhibit without presentation of the exhibit tag stub. If the claim check is lost, such
loss should be reported promptly and it will be necessary for the exhibitor to furnish
the Superintendent of the Entry Department proof of ownership of the article on exhibit.
Exhibits entered in the premium classes which are not claimed within one week
after the close of the Fair will be considered to have been abandoned by the exhibitor
and will be disposed of as the Manager of the Fair sees fit. Other exhibits, materials
therein, including concession booths, which are not claimed by the exhibitor or
concessionaire within 30 days after the end of the Fair will be considered to have
been abandoned and will become the property of the State Fair.
The Fair management reserves the right to reject any exhibit which does not
reflect merit and which would not be a credit to both the exhibitor and the Fair. Also,
the right is reserved to reject exhibits which are deemed objectionable or unsuitable for
exhibition. All entries are accepted conditionally pending inspection of the article or
animal to be exhibited. Any article or animal which proves to be misrepresented or
falsely classed will be rejected and the right of the exhibitor to further participation in
the Fair will be denied.
Division Directors, Department Superintendents, and/or Judges must report
disqualification of entries to the Manager of the State Fair immediately after such action
is taken. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILLJUDGING BE CONSIDERED OFFICIALAND
PREMIUMS PAID IN ACLASS WHERE DISQUALIFICATION IS RECOMMENDED UNTIL
APPROVALOFTHE DISQUALIFICATION(S) IS OBTAINED FROM THE FAIR MANAGER.
Promiscuous advertising is strictly prohibited. Exhibitors may advertise and
distribute literature and free samples from their place of exhibit only, but may not sell
any article or animal from their exhibit space without a permit from the manager. The
distribution of advertising matter which conflicts in any manner with a concession sold
by the Management is prohibited.
Commercial exhibitors and concessionaires are responsible for keeping the
space in and around their exhibits, including unused space, aisles and roadways,
clean and free of rubbish. An area of 10 feet around each exhibit booth and conces-sion
stand must be thoroughly cleaned by the exhibitor or concessionaire at the end of
each Fair day. Failure to do so will be cause for cancellation of contract.
No exhibit space assigned may be shared or sublet without permission of the
Fair manager.
JUDGING AND AWARDS
Decision of the judges will be final, and no appeal will be considered except in
cases of protest in writing, with strong evidence of fraud or violation of the rules of
the Fair. Protests must be filed with the Division Superintendent not later than noon of
the day following the award, and must be accompanied by a protest fee of $5.00
which will be retained by the Fair if the protest is not sustained. The protest must be
filed no later than 3 days following the award. The Division Superintendent will appoint
a committee to consider the protest and all interested parties will be notified of the time
of the hearing and will be given an opportunity to be heard. The rules of the Interna-tional
Association of Fairs and Expositions governing appeals will be those of the North
Carolina Fair.
1 9 GENERAL RULES
Judges will not award premiums to any article or animal because of its mere
presence. It must be individual worthy. It is not the policy of the Fair to encourage
indifferent production of any kind, or to distribute premiums equally among exhibitors.
No premium will be awarded to any exhibit that does not possess high intrinsic merit.
Unless otherwise specified in the Department Rules and Regulations, NO
EXHIBITOR MAY WIN MORE THAN TWO PREMIUMS IN ANY ONE INDIVIDUAL CLASS,
AND NOT MORE THAN ONE PREMIUM IN ANY GROUP CLASS.
No exhibitor may accompany judges during their deliberations except such
attendants as are necessary to handle and show livestock and other such exhibits.
Any exhibitor attempting to interfere with the judges during their adjudications, or who
publicly expresses disapproval of the decision of the judges, will be excluded from
further competition and any premiums previously won will be forfeited.
Fraud or deception as to breeding, or in any other form, will be exposed and
exhibitor guilty of such violation will be excluded from further participation in the Fair
and all premiums previously won will be forfeited.
Premiums will be paid only on the basis of the records of the judging reports,
which will be signed by the judge and by the Department Superintendent or Director.
Ribbons will be securely attached to the articles upon which they were awarded, if
possible, but the ribbons have no value in the payment of premiums since they may
become detached and find their way on to the wrong exhibit.
Entries made in wrong classes may be reclassed by the Department Superinten-dent,
BUT ONLY IF SUCH RECLASSIFICATION IS MADE IN THE OFFICE OF, AND WITH
THE APPROVAL OF, THE SUPERINTENDENTOFTHE ENTRY DEPARTMENT Records
must be changed when entries are reclassified. If the records are altered and the
entry department files are not changed, premiums will be withheld.
Judges, when requested, may give the reasons for their decisions embracing
the value and desirable qualities of the exhibits to which they have awarded premiums.
Judges will not award premiums or ribbons to any article or animal that does not
qualify for one of the classes in the State Fair Premium List.
Premiums will be paid to winning exhibitors as soon after the awards are made
as it is possible to compile and check all reports. Premiums not collected during the Fair
will be mailed to the exhibitor at the post office address given on his or her entry form.
Errors in premium statements will be corrected until December 1 . 2002 after which time
the books of the 2002 Fair are closed.
The following colors of ribbons will be used to designate awards:

J. S. DORTON ARENA
The J.S. Dorton Arena was built to serve agriculture, industry, commerce and
the general welfare of North Carolina. 8uilt in 1952, the building was officially named
the State Fair Arena. However, it was commonly referred to by fairgoers as the
25 DORTON ARENA

livestock pavilion or "Cow Palace". In 1953, Governor William B. Umstead referred to it
as "a great tribute to the vision and foresight of not only the builders, but of all the
people of North Carolina". At the opening ceremonies of the 1961 State Fair, the arena
was officially dedicated as J.S. Dorton Arena, in recognition of long time State Fair
Manager Dr. J.S. Dorton.
It has earned an international reputation since its construction in 1952. The late
Matthew Nowicki, while head of the Department of Architecture at North Carolina State
University, created the innovative design. Professor Nowicki was killed in an airplane
accident shortly after being commissioned as the architect. His personal friend, William
Henley Deitrick of Raleigh was named to the project.
The building is 300 feet in diameter, eliptic in shape, with a central concrete floor
221 feet long and 127 feet wide at the widest point of the ellipse. There are 4,750
seats and 360 box seats. Portable seats can be installed when a stage is used.
Seating capacity when used with a stage is 6,500.
Dorton Arena boasts the World's first cable supported roof system. Dorton
Arena uses arches leaning away from each other to support its weight. Cables strung
between the arches hold the heavy metal roof, with the load of the roof carried down
the arches.
The metal roof, suspended on a network of cables, which extend crosswise
from the 90-foot parabolic arches, is saddle-shaped. The 14-foot wide arches reach a
maximum height of 90 feet. They cross each other about 26 feet above the ground,
then extend into a tunnel below the surface at the east and west ends. Tension cables
equalize the weight of the roof, with 14 two-inch strands connecting each end of the
parabola through the stress tunnel. The roof, so suspended, eliminates any necessity
for structural steel supports and presents no view obstructions from any seat. The
exterior walls are constructed of glare-reducing tinted glass. The two lobbies are on
the ground level. These lobbies and the two lower level concourses provide about
25,000 square feet of exhibition space. Restrooms, dressing rooms and storage areas
are also available.
Currently, Dorton Arena is used for nightly entertainment during the annual N.C.
State Fair. Year-round use of the building includes trade shows, exhibitions, concerts, athletic
events, circuses and more. In 2002, more than $400,000 in renovations were done.
In 1972, Dorton Arena was placed on the National Historic Registry. In 2002, the
building will celebrate 50 years of serving Raleigh.
