Update (10/14/11) – If you’re looking for the latest on this year’s fair, be sure to check out: State Fair—Love A Fair with New Rides, Food, and Entertainment.
Each year, we are tasked with creating a theme and logo for the coming State Fair. This is done in conjunction with our advertising agency. It’s not easy to encapsulate in a few words the excitement, flavors, colors, people and traditions that are part of the Fair. It’s a process that takes several weeks, but we love this creative time and how it makes us think about the many things that make the State Fair special.
We came up with a few serious contenders for this year’s theme, but decided to recycle one from about 30 years ago. We really LOVE this theme, and after more than 1 million people came to the Fair last year, we think a lot of you will agree.

Are you a long-time North Carolinian? Do you remember when the “Love a Fair” theme was used before? We’d love to see anything that might have this theme on it.
We’d also love to hear what you love about the Fair, so send us a comment on Facebook or Twitter!
