After not finding one, they stopped to ask a fair employee.
"Here?" he said, laughing. "You're in North Carolina."

Not sure why you'd be embarrassed by being from a place where people think its reasonable to be able to have a glass of wine or a couple of beers at a public event. If anything, I'm embarrassed at the hordes of dumbass rednecks that make it necessary to ban alcohol from the fair.
That being said, if you want, I can start up a list of reasons why you should be embarrassed to be from the north. 5/23/2010 7:22:31 AM |

I guess because when I think of the State Fair I think of deep fried cheeseburgers and milking cows, not a wine and cheese party 5/23/2010 7:28:04 AM |

rednecks getting drunk and injuring themselves on rides is one of the best part of the fair
it's funny to see a carny with an air of superiority about him 5/23/2010 7:45:50 AM |

This is likely the result of people thinking their religion applies to everyone else. That's definitely why you can't buy alcohol at certain times on Sunday. People who think I have to follow the ridiculous doctrines of their logical fallacy based belief system are retarded. They should all be rounded up and brutally caned until the point that they forget what their religious doctrines even are.5/23/2010 8:53:11 AM |

- Our equivalent ignorance (we have the same rednecks; they just don't have drawls) - Boston Rob - Wicked Summer (the upcoming version of Jersey Shore... in fucking Boston) - Our snobby attitude

Who said anything about wine and cheese?
I grew up going to the NY State Fair, which is about twice the size of the NC one, and the beer flows like water there. They also rarely, if ever, have any problems related to drunkenness.5/23/2010 2:00:41 PM |

Serving beer at the Fair would be great, but a "beer or wine garden"? I mean, the Fair is in October, but it's not fucking Oktoberfest. It seems that this couple had no idea what the N.C. State Fair is about. 5/23/2010 2:10:20 PM |
