199 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE JULY 2019 THE NORTH CAROL INA STATE FA I R the largest cities in North Carolina during that period of time with all of the needs that those visitors have in terms of amenities, and safety, and security. During the fair, we have over 600 employees. And we constantly try to make it bigger and better as well. We are excited, this year that we are bringing in the largest mobile Ferris wheel in North America. It is 155 feet in diameter, and we are looking forward to that and we’ll be promoting around that item, this year.” While weekends at the Fairgrounds are almost always full, “There are still spaces in between,” Yelverton admits. “And that is the part of our business that we are trying to grow– weekday rentals by local businesses. Whether that be for trade shows, or customer appreciation, we can handle anything. We do want to make sure that what we are booking makes sense for who we are, and we hope to fill those spots with events that work well with our operation and what we hope to accomplish.” “I feel the main message we want to get across is that we are here for everyone,” Yelverton concludes. “If you are looking for a place to hold your event, we have not only the facilities but also the expertise and the experience. We have professionals on hand who can help you figure out what you need and how to do it. We are in the business of providing venue services, and we want people to seek us out and see what we can do to accommodate their needs.” SEE YOU IN 2020! #GOODGUYS19 NORTH CAROLINA STATE FAIRGROUNDS | RALEIGH, NC 6 TH NOR T H C A RO L I NA NA T I ONA L S COOL CARS.
