New Scholarship Will be Awarded!!!

"Charles Inman Honorary Scholarship" Award

Education is one of the main objectives of the Georgia Association of Agricultural Fairs. Many children get there first up-close look at farm animals when they see the livestock and agricultural displays at their local fair. From this they learn where their meat, poultry, pork, milk, cheese and eggs come from. They see the field crops or growing gardens on display and learn that the vegetables they eat come from the earth, not the refrigerator or cans. Live bee demonstrations show us where we get honey. A lot of exotic animal shows that appear at fairs today not only entertain but also provide information on the problems these animals are having in their natural habitats. From these exhibits guests gain new insights to the world around them.

"From The President..."


I would like to thank our members for supporting the association and I encourage each of you to get involved by attending our annual Convention and Trade Show and working together to continue the long standing tradition of fairs. We seek your ideas and suggestions to make your association better and more beneficial for you and your fair. Please submit your thoughts and ideas.

The fair season in Georgia continues to expand and we are seeing many spring and summer fairs added to the calendar. I encourage you to make us aware of your dates and we will post them for promotion on our site. I am excited to see our new web site become a reality and I hope this will enhance and encourage year round communication in our association. Daniel Hebard has done a tremendous job in building the site and we extend our appreciation to him for his hard work. If Daniel and his company can assist your organization, please do not hesitate to contact him.

Vicki and I plan to visit as many of your fairs as possible. Both of us have full time jobs plus tremendous responsibilities in our community but we have dedicated time this fall to make visits and hope to see many of you.

If I may assist you in any manner, you may contact me at 770.548.2994.

Thanks for supporting GAAF!

Bud Owens
