The Pony Express is a free service provided by the NC Mountain State Fair and the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Centers. The week before the fair, they will be coming to the Clay County Center, to pick up entries for the fair. The entries will be taken to the fairgrounds, processed and displayed. Then the week after the fair closes, they will bring the entries back to the Clay County Center.
The entries must be entered online by August 23 and brought to Clay County Center by 11:30 am that day. Make sure to have a printed copy of your entry form.

Non-perishable items need to be wrapped and packaged securely for transport. The box should be labeled with your name and county, and a copy of your entry form should be included in the box.

Everyone is welcome to enter. Clay County step up and show your talents!
