year that the NC General
Assembly has opted to set

program are on the
chopping block and the
Sales Tax Holiday could
very well be one of them.
NCRMA is staying in
close touch with legislative
leadership as this
discussion unfolds to
educate legislators on the
popularity of the Sales Tax
Holiday with their
constituents as it provides
a small tax break to
consumer as they make
necessary purchases for
school or college.

for this year’s festival
including arts and crafts,
specialty foods, nonprofit,
commercial, and
jewelry. (All food vendors
