to benefit the state’s economy and to stage and<br />
promote a statewide fair to accomplish one or<br />
more of the above.”<br />
Our vision is to lead our industry through<br />
innovation and to constantly earn our reputation.<br />
The various fountains, ponds and landscapes<br />
offer the best of both worlds at this one of a<br />
kind facility. Be sure stop by today and see what<br />

The Georgia National Fairgrounds<br />
Family • Traditions • Memories<br />
The Georgia FFA members participate in events throughout the 11 days<br />
of the Georgia National Fair. These events range from showing livestock,<br />
floral design contest, FFA Rally Day, mini tractor pull contest, tree and<br />
plant ID contest and that’s just to name a few. They also design mini<br />
booth projects and enter their built projects for judging. The FFA<br />
makes a positive difference in the lives of students by developing<br />
their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career<br />
success through agricultural education. All FFA members know that<br />
while they are “Learning to Do, Doing to Learn, Earning to Live,<br />
Living to Serve” they also bleed National Blue and Corn Gold!!<br />
