Official Fried Apple Pie Festival.

SB 78 designates Sparta's annual Fried Apple Pie Festival as North Carolina's official Fried Apple Pie Festival.

This designation applies solely to the festival's status as the state's official event, with no new funding, regulations, or policy changes. The bill affects the festival's community and its organizers by granting it official state recognition. (Procedural bill; summary limited to 2 sentences as specified.)
