WFMY News 2 is partnering with the Central Carolina Fair to give everyone free admission on opening night, Friday, August 30. Thursdays are Dollar Days -- where people can pay $1 admissions, $1 per ride, $1 for select food items and enjoy free parking! On Saturdays, from 11am-3pm, everyone's a kid! That means adults get kid pricing on admissions and ride bands.

Attractions include: Roaring Metal Rage, a production of freestyle motocross including the craziest mini freestyle motocross and bmx stunts. Weeks 2 and 3 entertainment include Hamid Circus. Hamid Circus is the oldest single family-owned circus in America. You can expect to see daring aerial feats, balancing brilliance, one wheel wizards, cavalcades of K9's, and more!
