LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Dear Friends:
Welcome to the 26th annual, state-sponsored, Georgia
National Fair! The Georgia National Fair appeals to
everyone with its livestock and horse shows, competitive
exhibits, food, midway rides and games, commercial
vendors, major concerts, street entertainers, family
entertainment, circus, and nightly fireworks.
The Georgia National Fair is a great value for the entire family. Our educational
and entertainment programs are geared towards children, teens, young adults,
parents, and senior citizens. There truly is something for everyone while not
breaking the budget with over half a million dollars-worth of free entertainment
and attractions upon entering the gates!
Since the first Fair, we have stayed true to our mission: The state of Georgia
established the Georgia Agricultural Exposition Authority to showcase Georgia’s
agriculture/agribusiness, to promote the agricultural achievements of Georgia’s
young people, to provide a center for diverse activities to benefit the state’s
economy, and to stage and promote a statewide fair to accomplish one or more
of the above. We encourage you to participate in the many educational aspects
of the Georgia National Fair and experience the thrill of winning a blue ribbon!
The Authority, staff, and I are eager to celebrate with you, your family, and friends.
Join us and discover why we are “Famous for Fun”!
Sincerely,
CHILDREN 10 & UND
