The Got to be NC Festival is slated for every May and is held at the State Fairgrounds in Raleigh. The festival lives up to its title, as it aims to celebrate North Carolina's cultural heritage.
Got a sweet tooth but want something a little different? Make your way to the CupCake Shoppe and choose from 11 different kinds of cupcakes that also include seasonal favorites, muffins, cookies, milk and coffee. Even if you think you want just one or two, take several for your family and friends...or maybe a couple to eat in the car on the way home!
If man's best friend is part of your family, he needs to get out and enjoy some recreation just like you do. Take your dog to the Oakwood Dog Park for a great game of fetch or just let him run around and enjoy the thrill of being outdoors. There is a large dog area as well as a small dog area for older dogs or those that may be anxious around larger dogs. Either way, the exercise and fun will benefit both dog and owner!
