Abstract:

The Harnett County city of Dunn was once known as one of the nation’s largest cotton wagon yards. To recognize the impact that cotton and cotton farming has had on the region, Dunn has hosted for thirteen years the North Carolina Cotton Festival in early November. The festival is now known as the Touchstone Energy NC Cotton Festival, sponsored by North Carolina’s electric cooperatives.
