NC State Fair
Sign up to contribute items for the WCBA 2026 state fair booth!
Each year WCBA members enter their honey, wax, mead and more in competitions at the North Carolina State Fair. But the biggest event at the fair is our club booth. We have won a ribbon for the last several years with the help of numerous WCBA members and their amazing products of the hive.
