FLETCHER—Late-night fair fun returns to the 2009 N.C. Mountain State Fair on the second Friday of the fair, Sept. 18, when the Friday Night Stampede kicks off at 9 p.m. and runs until 1 a.m. This special admission event will feature unlimited rides and gate admission for only $18. Fairgoers may also purchase regular admission and ride tickets during this timeframe as well.

“This is an excellent bargain if you like to ride, and it gives you time to get here after the area football games end,” says Fair Manager Matt Buchanan. “We will provide additional security during this evening and the Highway Patrol and area law enforcement agencies will be working until the gates close.”

More information on the fair and the Friday Night Stampede is available at www.mountainfair.org. Tickets for the Stampede will only be available the night of the event at all fair entrances.
