We had so much fun at the Carolina Classic Fair! From meeting many of you and talking local history at our booth in the Home and Garden building; to sharing History Story Time on the Clock Tower Stage; learning more about our city in Yesterday Village; seeing Twiggy, the waterskiing squirrel; and checking out the Demolition Derby—it was all a blast! Thanks to the Carolina Classic Fair for having us, and to all of you for stopping by. Can’t wait for next year!
