Yester Year Village
The N.C. State Fair has provided me with an opportunity to understand American villages and their handicrafts and art. North Carolina boasts a significant and unique heritage. The "Yester Year Village" at the fair showcases all the traditional crafts of rural America under one roof.
Although the fair has become more commercial over the years, many people appreciate its role in promoting agricultural art and village crafts. The exhibitors at the fair are very friendly, demonstrating their skills before the audience, which allows visitors to appreciate their talents.
When I asked them if I could take their pictures, each exhibitor was cooperative and pleased to gain exposure for their profession and promote their art. I could sense their affection for their craft; they all genuinely love their respective professions. Some of the traditional rural crafts featured include quilting, rug braiding, wood carving, skiff building, basketry, soap making, pottery, and creating decorative items and toys from agricultural waste.
