Yester Year Village

The N.C State fair allowed me to develop an understanding about American Villages and their handicrafts and art. North Carolina has a significant and unique heritage. The ''Yester Year Village'' of the fair, brought all the traditional crafts rural America under one roof.
Though it is taking more more commercial shades over the years, people thank the State fair for promoting Agriculture art and Village craft.
The exhibitors here are very friendly. They are working before your eyes to give you the idea of their talents and skills.
When I requested them to pose for a picture each one of them was cooperative and in fact happy for the exposure for their profession and promotion of their art. I saw a sense of affection towards their profession in them . They all love their respective professions. Quilting, rug braiding, wood carving, skiff building, basketry, soap making, pottery, making decorative items and toys from agricultural wastes are some traditional rural professions.
