Abstract:

For all its LED-emblazoned Ferris wheel and high-anxiety ride spectacle, the North Carolina State Fair is nothing if not a cobweb of nostalgia. For hours on end, and for a lowly few dollars, one can wander through halls of local produce, in well groomed petting zoos, stand in line for hand-churned ice cream, or listen to the likes of George Jones and Willie Nelson.
