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. 12 THE NORTH CAROLINA HORSE SHOW OCTOBER 2-6 AND 14-26, 2002 "One of America's largest all-breed shows" October 2-6 Hunters and Jumpers October 14 Haflingers October 15 Paint and Palomino October 16-17 Quarter Horses October 18 (Day) Appaloosas October 18 (Night) Wall<ing, Racking, Spotted Saddle Horses October 19 (Day) Youth Day October 19 (Night) Walking, Racking, Spotted Saddle Horses October 20 Youth Day October 21 Mules October 22 Arabians and Half Arabians October 23 (Day Carriage Driving October 23 (Night) Saddlebred, Hackney, Roadsters October 24-26 Saddlebred, Morgan, Hackney, Roadsters October 26 (Day Academy and Miniatures October 27 Paso Finos More Than $90,000 Prize Money Offered Covered Schooling Area Serves As Facilities Restaurant, with 240 seat Dining Room Covered, enclosed 81 ,200 sq. ft. main show arena with 136 X 248 ft. main show ring Main show arena with 5,000 seats, including 1 ,500 theater style, reserved seats Covered, all-weather 120 x 240 ft. schooling arena, which can Second Show Ring serve as a second show ring _, ... , ,• For more information contact: Three outside schooling arenas 3,^^^ P^,^ Show Manager Barn area with 485 solid-wall, sliding-door, permanent stalls, n.c. state Fair Horse Show horse washes, restrooms and showers 1025 Blue Ridge Road 420 temporary stalls Spacious grounds with full-service camper facilities Raleigh, NC 27607 (919) 821 -7400 FAX (919) 733-9572 13 ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE 1025 Blue Ridge Blvd., Raleigh, N.C. 27607 Phone (919) 821-7400 Phone (919) 733-2145 Fax (919) 733-5079 ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF Wesley V.

A firm, to be entitled to exhibit as such, must have been organized not less than 30 days prior to the closing date for entries, and such firm must have been organized as a bona fide firm for the purpose of produc-ing, or buying and selling the articles or animals it proposes to exhibit in the name of such firm. A firm will be regarded as one exhibitor. Official printed forms or copies of this form MUST BE USED in making applica-tions for entry. One can be found in the back of the book. USE A SEPARATE FORM FOR ENTRIES IN EACH DEPARTMENT. Be sure to fill out the application form completely, accurately and legibly.

Additional application forms are available upon request to: N.C. STATE FAIR, 1025 BLUE RIDGE BLVD., RALEIGH, N.C. 27607. Incomplete entry forms will be returned for correction if there is time to do so, but REMEMBER: No article or animals will be entitled to exhibition space until proper entry has been made. No entry will be accepted after the closing date listed for each department. Once an entry is made, it cannot be changed except where it is improperly classed or a mistake has been made in copying the original entry—in which event the changes can be made only with the permission of the Department Superintendent, or Director in charge, AND THEN ONLY IN THE OFFICE OF THE "ENTRY SUPERINTEN-DENT." If the records are altered and do not conform with the information on file in the Entry Department, payment of premiums will be withheld. No person except personnel of the Entry Department will be allowed to see the entries, or have access to the entry books, until after the awards are made. The same article or animal cannot be entered for more than one premium number (except as othenwise stated in the Special Department Rules and Regula-tions). Collections and displays must be made up of specimens, other than those entered in single (individual) classes unless otherwise noted. Except for the Horse Show no entry fees are required in any department, except that livestock, poultry, and rabbit exhibitors must include payment of stall, pen, and coop fees with their applications for entry.

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.

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 $140 $120 $100 $80 $60 $140 $120 $100 $80 $60 $140 $120 $100 $80 $60 $140 $120 $100 $80 $60 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.

Some people come to the State Fair to see the latest developments in
agricultural technology. Still others bring their finest offerings in hopes of
winning livestock shows, crafts and cooking contests. The young and "young at
heart" try their luck at the midway games and test their nerves on the thrilling
rides. Everyone enjoys the outstanding food.
Whatever the reason, we gather at the Fairgrounds for ten full days of fian

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.

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.
