Last chance to go to flea market before N.C. State Fair

It’s easy to take the flea market at the N.C. State Fairgrounds for granted. Each weekend you can count on dozens of vendors to set up their goods in two domes, seven small shops and throughout the grounds.

But this weekend is your last chance to browse the tables before the N.C. State Fair, which opens Oct. 15 and runs through the 25th. So if you’ve been meaning to go out there to look for a rare antique, costume jewelry or some other doodad, consider yourself warned.

You can keep up with the activities and bustle leading up to the State Fair on the N.C. State Fair Deep Fried blog.
