Fair Weather

130 years ago, some very bright folks decided there needed to be a grain exposition in Winston-Salem. Several decades later the exposition had expanded and became known as the Piedmont Tobacco Fair. Fast forward to today and you have what is currently known as the Dixie Classic Fair. When the fair comes to town, I always try to attend. I first attended the fair about 27 years ago with my dad and a handful of older brothers. This is an event for everybody. Whether you love animals, music, food, games, art, or carnival rides, this is the fair to go to. In my opinion this fair rivals the North Carolina State Fair. You can't beat this year's highlight event: Demolition derby and figure-8 racing. Whatever draws you in, you can't beat the Dixie Classic Fair. Thank goodness we had nice weather on our trip!
