State Fair's Hunger Relief Day proves 'very successful'
Fairgoers donated 233,000 pounds of food Thursday, when a donation of five canned items earned free fair admission.
The haul was 10,000 pounds more than was donated last year, but it still fell short of the 250,000-pound goal set by the Food Bank of Central & Eastern NC.
