Message from the Fair Manager

The Pitt County Fairgrounds has already been busy this year with concerts, Boys Scout Fund Raiser, Animated Car Show, circus, and yard sales. Now it is time for the most important event of the year—The 2010 Pitt County American Legion Agricultural Fair.

Our fair theme this year, “It’s Time for Fair Time”, sets the tone for the exciting things the fair staff has in store for you at the 91st Annual Pitt County American Legion Agricultural Fair. We are excited about our upcoming fair. We are once again offering Playworld Amusements for your enjoyment and entertainment on the midway. Jeff and Joyce Brady join us in the excitement of providing one of the most modern midways in the fair business. Their midway consists of 38 thrilling rides, exciting games, and a variety of food and beverage opportunities. If you missed seeing them last year, you will not want to miss this fabulous midway this year. Please join us in welcoming them to Greenville. The Pitt County American Legion Agricultural Fair is proud to have Paige Laughinghouse as our Pitt County Fair Ambassador again this year. She is dedicated to making our fair a huge success.

We have worked very hard to “build” an exciting fair for you to enjoy. We have some great FREE entertainment lined up for your enjoyment. Once again we will have Bull Riding and Gospel Music featuring local talent. This year’s fair will also include Racing Pigs (FREE), Nicks Kids Show (FREE), The Carolina Girls (FREE), R&S Woodcarving (FREE), Pickles Da Clown (FREE), Fantazia Circus Acts (FREE), Country Roads Band (FREE), The Ginger Thompson Band (FREE), livestock, educational exhibits, Children’s Barnyard and much, much more.

We are also excited about our fourth annual Pitt County Fair Community Church Choir. Churches throughout the county will come together on Tuesday, October 5, to sing songs of praise for your enjoyment. Please come out and support your local churches as we bring the community together in harmony.

My goal is to continue to have the best local/regional fair in the state. We must work as a team in order to accomplish this. We have brought the Pitt County American Legion Agricultural Fair to you. Now YOU, the community, and Eastern North Carolina region citizens must do your part by participating in the Exhibit Halls, the contests, and attendance at the various FREE shows.

Review all of the volumes of Department Class Listings in our Agricultural Exhibit Hall Tabloid. There’s something for everyone. If you have never entered an exhibit item, enter one this year. Encourage your friends and neighbors to participate.
It is lots of fun.

Pay close attention to our advertising businesses that helped to support getting this information to you at no cost to you. Thank them and give them your support.

In addition to all the exciting attractions, our fair management team provides FREE parking for you each and every day of our fair week. Parking along the highway is prohibited. So bring your children, friends, and neighbors to our 91st Annual Pitt County American Legion Fair. Don’t miss out on the most exciting event of the year. Please join us in celebrating “It’s Time for Fair Time”. I look forward to seeing you there celebrating 91 years of fun at the fair with us.
