Durham Fair time is here again rain or shine. For those of you that don’t know what the Durham Fair is all about, let me give you a little info. First and foremost the fair is about ditching your diet for the weekend and indulging in some deep fried, candy coated, powdered sugared, gastronomic goodness (aka fair food).
This year the fair is not only offering the usual funnel cakes, fried dough, corn dogs, candy apples, and cotton candy, but also providing fair goers the opportunity to feast on delicacies like lobster rolls, buffalo steak sandwiches, pad thai noodles, and jambalaya… This is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg though, a complete lineup of all that the stands offer can be found here http://www.durhamfair.org/content/580/default.aspx.
Along with the food, they have numerous livestock shows and competitions, carnival rides, baking contests, concerts, tractor pulls, and even pig races some years. There are plenty of things to do to keep you occupied!
The only problem this year is that it is supposed to raining all weekend long. This still won’t keep me and my buddies from visiting the fair grounds and dawning our ponchos and umbrellas, afterall the Durham Fair only comes around once a year…
****UPDATE****
The Durham fair will definitely be held rain or shine this weekend and will NOT be cancelled because of the rain and wind according to a press released statement by Michelle LaPointe who is the Durham Fair Marketing Director. Here a quote from her recent statement:
“Really not much changes for us. We still encourage people to come because we still have indoor events for them to attend,” LaPointe said.
LaPointe said the midway, entertainment and some offsite parking lots at the Durham Fair could be affected by the rain. She encourages people to stop out despite the rain. Umbrellas and other Durham Fair rain gear will be available for purchase at the event.
The way I see it, the rain will give a great chance for attendees to experience shorter lines at the fair!
