F OO D For many, the fair means one thing: food. Lots and lots of food, often deep fried, on a stick or deep fried and on a stick. Fair-goers marvel each year at the various concoctions, returning to old favorites and trying new treats. Can you say fried pineapple on a stick? Or pork chop on a stick? Then there’s deepfried Milky Way bar on a stick, cheesecake on a stick, fried peanut butter and jelly sandwich on a stick and don’t forget about the fried pickle on a stick. It seems like everything at the fair just tastes better on a stick. E MP LO Y M E N T The NC Mountain State Fair has approximately 400 paid employees for the 10 day duration of the fair. E NT E R TA IN M E N T Over 100 acts perform at the fairs’ numerous free entertainment venues. ATT R A C T IO N S Drew Expositions features more than 40 carnival rides and numerous games of skill. Kiddyland offers 30+ carnival rides for pint-sized fair visitors. FAC ILIT Y IN F O R M AT IO N The WNC Agricultural Center is owned by the State of North Carolina and operated by the NC Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The facility and the NC Mountain State Fair are completely self-supported and receive no appropriated tax funds for operational expenses.

[ ENTERTAINMENT LINEUP ] D AK OTA AN D F R I E N DS DIN O SA UR SHO W “Dakota & Friends” features six different dinosaurs, exploding volcanoes, natural habitats for the dinosaurs and much more. Both kids and adults alike will enjoy this fun, interactive experience.
JAY M AT T I OL I FAMI LY M A G IC - YO U HAVE N E VER S E E N MAGI C L I K E T H IS ! Decored in hip, vivid costumes, a carefully punked hair-do, and a vivacious assistant on his side, Jay performs magic with everything from live animals to levitating microphones as well as startling effects where Jay vaporizes his body in the blink of an eye! Packed with excitement, comedy, audience interaction, and a one-of-a-kind personality, Jay Mattioli will continue to delight audiences with a show that simply cannot be missed! B OJ AN GL E S S E A L I ON SP LA SH The sea lions will amaze the crowd as they balance balls, shoot hoops, dance, perform handstands and show their pretty smiles. This is the only show in the U.S. to feature both California and South American sea lions. The idea of the Sea Lion Splash originated when Squalus started taking in beached sea lions who were unable to be returned to the wild due to age or injuries and unable to provide food for themselves. Squalus provides a permanent home for these sea lions for the rest of their lives. K E N YA S AFAR I AC R OBAT S The Kenya Safari Acrobats offer a truly unique cultural experience. Hailing from the heart of Africa, this awe-inspiring and dynamic dance troupe takes acrobatics to exhilarating extremes. The group members learned acrobatics as children on the beaches of Kenya, as a means to break free from an impoverished country. Now they serve as artistic ambassadors for Kenya as they travel the globe, entertaining and inspiring audiences of all ages. B R AD MAT C H E T T P R E S E N T S A G R IC A DA B R A Brad Matchett brings agriculture to life in a Fun and Creative way. Don’t miss this MAGICAL, educational experience. Kids, parents and grandparents, will be held captive with this exciting presentation!
T H E GR E AT AT L AN TA P UP P ET SHO W Watch this “Specialty Puppet Show” that is filled with music, color, action and unique puppets! There is a degree of humor, sophistication, cleverness and skill presented for everyone in the family to enjoy.

FAIR FOOD
As autumn approaches, we look forward to ripe produce, shorter, cool days, and a classic western carolina tradition: the Mountain State Fair. The best part of the fair? For many, the fair means one thing: food. Lots and lots of food, often deep fried, on a stick or deep fried and on a stick. Fair-goers marvel each year at the various concoctions, returning to old favorites and trying new treats Talk about choices - check out the fair’s 30+ food stands located throughout the grounds. Can you say fried pineapple on a stick? Or pork chop on a stick? Then there’s deep-fried Milky Way bar on a stick, cheesecake on a stick, fried peanut butter and jelly sandwich on a stick and don’t forget about the fried pickle on a stick. It seems like everything at the fair just tastes better on a stick. 2017 V E ND O RS :
