A friend once described Weston McCorkle as the “voice of the State Fair livestock shows.” That nickname, given nearly 20 years ago, has stuck ever since as many people still refer to Weston as “the voice.”

In many ways, Weston is the perfect person to serve as the voice of the livestock shows as he has a deep love and connection to both the N.C. State Fair and North Carolina agriculture.

Weston currently serves as an agricultural programs specialist at the N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. He joined the department almost a year ago, in the midst of the pandemic, and works closely with farmland preservation and conservation efforts that also benefit military training and readiness.
