try their hand at picking peanuts or milking cows, and enable
visitors to view and learn more about the cattle, sheep, pigs and
other animals raised on North Carolina farms. But the fair has also
evolved to become a spectacular festival with amusement park rides
and games, a demolition derby, top musical performers and much
more.International Festival of RaleighThis entertaining and informative festival has become
a major local highlight, showcasing the region's cultural and
artistic talents with culinary specialties, cultural exhibits and
ethnic crafts on offer. The festival hosts both international and
