Narrative:
Contacted local FSS for advisory and was not given any NOTAMS that airfield had been changed to temporary tower for special event. I filed flight plan prior to departure and again did not receive any NOTAMS that airfield had been changed to temporary controled tower for this special event. I contacted unicom for approach to airfield and was given active runway and no reported traffic. The first I knew of controled airfield was when I walked into FBO office.
