Here I am 2024 watching this wondering if you were there.
Crazy 50 years later. Thank you.

@@Louis-kk3toamazing. I was born in 1999 and seeing older things like this from my city is wild to me.

First time I went was in 1975, so this all looks familiar. Was a lot nicer back then.

[@newday-mi7ss]

[@michaelray5883]

Born and raised in Raleigh North Carolina rings back great memories even shows the girly show 😍

I kinda wish they still had banger races at the fair.
Since the quarter-mile track was decommissioned, most of it was converted into a paved midway. The first straightway, grandstands and restrooms are still there, and they do have tractor pulls during the fair.
