It's Fall.....Head to the Fair!

The Georgia Mountain Fall Festival is currently underway through October 16th at the Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds in Hiawassee, Georgia. You can access their website here.


The festival includes musical performances, educational demonstrations, a flower show, and Georgia’s official state Fiddlers’ Convention.

We stopped by on Sunday and took a walk through the exhibits……and of course, we had a funnel cake.

Here are a few of the images from the festival:


The pottery booth.......I love to watch the wheel demonstration.


Ummm....this guy was kinda interesting.   Look at his feet.....:)



Interesting crafts......I guess that's a good use of the old jugs found on any Georgia farm.


Lovely painted windows to hang on a porch or in a sunroom


The train was cute....complete with a real train whistle....


Hmmmm.......


I've never had a fair burger at the fair.   I've always thought they were pretty good.


Authentic outbuildings dot the fairgrounds.....



Yes, that's a tree trunk table.  They wanted $250 for it.


Wood splitting demonstration.


A bonafide country cabin....


The blacksmith demonstration


The old schoolhouse....


Of course, we had the ever predictable Elvis sighting.....


Yummy!  

Elvis singing for the crowd....


Lovely views of the mountains from the fairgrounds.
