10. Depends on what you mean by "the state."

Our liberal Democratic governor and his administration have nothing to do with this. The Republican-controlled state legislature refused to provide the funds required to participate.

It sounds like this weird state fair thing didn't require any official sign offs - literally anybody could show up and claim their state's booth.

(For the record, Republicans in NC are currently angry with the Trump administration for withholding FEMA funds to help areas devastated by hurricanes. Not coincidentally, those regions are Republican strongholds.)
