This year’s Alabama National Fair promises a mix of some of the popular attractions from past fairs, as well as an assortment of new events that should appeal to a wide variety of fairgoers.
The popular “Salute to America’s Veterans” returns on opening night, beginning at 6 p.m. Friday on the Coliseum Stage. This year, veterans of Operation Iraqi Freedom will be specifically honored.
The 2012 veterans’ salute will welcome a special guest — country entertainer Lee Greenwood, perhaps best known for his song “God Bless the USA,” considered one of the most patriotic songs in American music. Greenwood’s concert begins at 7 p.m. Military personnel are admitted free with proper identification.

Greenwood is the national spokesman for Operation Never Forgotten, a volunteer nonprofit that connects the military and civilian worlds through public service announcements.
The Creative Living Center, home to the cooking, horticultural and sewing competitions, will again have a full slate of contests and demonstrations on each day of the fair. Visiting this year will be Diane Rose, known as “the amazing quilter,” who has been blind since 1984. She has made more than 700 quilts in her lifetime and works to inspire others through her ministry, Rose of Sharon Ministries.
