Georgia National Fair

This year was the 25th anniversary of the Georgia National Fair, or the Perry Fair as we call it. I worked with the Georgia Grown team in our building for three very long days. I had a great time meeting all kinds of people. I really am glad to have a great crew of folks to work with. Check out these awesome Georgia Grown pumpkins!

One day I parked at the wrong side of the fair and dreaded walking back in the heavy mist so I hopped on the Agri-Lift and got to see the fair in all of its glory.

Without fail this is one of my favorite pictures to snap every time the fair comes around! I love seeing the reflection of the ride lights on the pond. I was even featured on Explore Georgia’s blog!

On Friday, Justin, Wyatt, and I headed up to the fair to have some fun together. We got Wy the most adorable cowboy hat. It is supposed to be the “Brad Paisley Jr.” model but it was secretly the only one that would fit him.

I even got to feed the camel at the petting zoo. I later found out I wasn’t supposed to. He/She kept trying to steal my cup!

At the risk of sounding incredibly stalker-ish....
I love the Perry Fair! We went on a Wednesday this year so I missed all my favorite animals but still had a great time!
I totally contemplated how I was going to introduce myself as one of your blog readers without sounding like a creep if I happened to see you in the Georgia Grown building! My boyfriend thought I was nuts wanting to meet a stranger. Haha.
I've been reading your blog for a long time (and don't remember if I've ever commented) and really love all your ag posts. I live in Macon and am always amazed at what a small world we live in, thanks to blogging.
