From Boone - The Scenic Route (This route will have less congestion and will take you through some of the most beautiful farm land in the region.):

From the intersection of NC 105 and US 321, travel 2 mi. south on NC 105 to the third stoplight (immediately past the Exxon station). Turn RIGHT on the NC 105 Bypass (signs read "Trucks to US 421/321 North"). Go 1.8 mi. to the stoplight. Turn LEFT toward Mountain City on NC 194 South.

Travel 2.9 mi. NC 194 will take a 90-degree LEFT hand turn toward Valle Crucis across from the Vilas Grocery & Hardware. Travel 3.6 mi. on NC 194 into Valle Crucis.

This winding country road ambles past farmhouses, barns, cultivated fields and pastures filled with livestock. In addition to being amazingly beautiful, this route allows you to skip the stoplight on NC 105 at Broadstone Road, the one place where Fair traffic can clog up and cause an extended wait.

At 3.6 miles, NC 194 will take a 90-degree turn to the RIGHT at the Valle Crucis Elementary School (just past the original Mast General Store). Turn right and travel 1 mi. on NC 194 to the fair entrance. Turn LEFT into the fair, where parking attendants will assist you.
