I smell fun!

I smell fun!

Haley Jean Dupree


 The NC State Fair was a blast! 
From fried food to carnival rides, it all smelled and sounded
wonderful!  If you went, I’m sure
you had an awesome time, but did you notice a little difference in the fair’s
atmosphere this year?

T he petting zoo was missing from the state fair the time. 
Last year, too many people sewed and complained about their kids
contracting diseases and sicknesses from the animals at the zoo, so it was
decided that there would no longer be one.  
 
The fair also added a couple new things such as, new fried food!  It is a tradition for the NC State Fair
to have tons of fried food, and this year, the Sloppy Jo Donut Burger hit the
streets of the fair.

The downside to this year’s fair was when the Vortex (a famous state fair
ride) created lots of turmoil; five people were thrown off and injured after
attempting to get off the ride.  
 
Four days later on another Vortex at the fair, part of the ride fell on
and critically hurt one of the state fair workers. 

 Other than a few hiccups, the fair seemed to be a huge hit.
