Abstract:

The State Fair, an annual event showing the best of North Carolina, began in 1853. By the early 20th-century it had grown not only in size but diversified its exhibits. This article compares two fairs, the 1892 and 1936 state fairs, to demonstrate changes in increased attendance and greater spectacle with new special attractions.
