FAIR MANAGER’S MESSAGE KEN ROSS

Message from the Fair Manager

Welcome back to another great year at the Pitt County American Legion Agricultural Fair. The Pitt County Fair Committee has worked diligently all year planning an even better event for 2023.

Our theme this year, “A PLACE TO BE IN 2023” sets the tone for the exciting things the fair staff has in store for you at the 103rd Annual Pitt County Fair. We are extremely excited about our upcoming fair and the return of Powers Great American Midways for your enjoyment and entertainment. Their midway consists of 35 thrilling rides, exciting games, and a variety of food and beverage opportunities. You do not want to miss this fabulous Midway this year. Please join us in welcoming them to Greenville.

We have worked awfully hard to “build” a fun-filled, exciting fair for you and your family to enjoy. The Pitt County Fair has always been a FAMILY EVENT. I intend to keep it that way. I enjoy seeing the smiling faces of families spending time together. We have added more Security Measures and Rules to protect our patrons and employees. Those who do not follow the guidelines we have put into place will not be allowed to enter the fairgrounds.

Along with our FREE entertainment, we are offering you a chance to be a ROCK STAR for one night. This is your chance to make your dreams come true by being a STAR on stage at our Karaoke Event. Come join the fun on Thursday night, September 21 at 7:00 pm.

My goal is to continue to have the best local/regional fair in the state. We must work as a team in order to accomplish this. We have brought the Pitt County American Legion Agricultural Fair to you. Now, you, the community, and Eastern North Carolina region citizens must do your part by participating in the Exhibit Hall, the contests, and attendance at the various FREE shows.

Review all the volumes of Department Class Listings in our Magazine. There is something for everyone. If you have never entered an exhibit item, enter one this year. Encourage your friends and neighbors to participate. Its lots of fun.

Pay close attention to our advertising businesses that helped to support getting this information to you at no cost to you. Thank them and give them your support.

In addition to all the exciting attractions, our fair management team provides FREE PARKING every day of our fair week (September 19-24. 2023). Parking along the highway is prohibited. So, bring your children, friends, and neighbors to our 103rd Annual Pitt County Fair. Do not miss out on the most exciting event of the year. Please join us on the Midway for some FAMILY FUN. I look forward to seeing you there at A PLACE TO BE IN 2023
