There are less than two months to go before the National Folk Festival gets underway in Salisbury.
Local director Caroline O’Hare says the organization has raised 80 percent of the $1.3 million needed to put on the festival.
Still, she says, that’s pretty much on target adding the fundraising needs a little bump.
Mayor Jake Day told WBOC that while the festival was around $180-thousand short it could still be put on if it were held today.
Mike Dunn, a member of the fundraising committee, told the television station that he is still waiting for decisions by some corporate sponsors.
He says that fundraising will go on right up until the day of the festival.
