The Georgia National Fairgrounds & Agricenter and Department are pleased to be partnering once again this year to present the Georgia Grown Building during the 2014 Georgia National Fair, which will be held Oct. 2 through 12 in Perry, Ga. The building will feature 20,000 square feet of space dedicated solely to Georgia Grown products, manufactures and businesses, specifically geared towards agriculture.

Additionally, the Georgia Grown Pavilion, located inside the building, gives fairgoers the opportunity to purchase unique Georgia-made products such as delicious jams and jellies, nuts, baked goods, sauces and relishes.

“We’re proud to partner with the Georgia National Fair again this year with our Georgia Grown Building,” Commissioner of Agriculture Gary W. Black said. “Last year we received tremendous support from fairgoers and industry members and this year we hope to take the building to the next level. We look forward to showcasing our Georgia Grown members and educating fairgoers on all of the great products, manufacturers and agribusiness that our state has to offer.”

 

In 2013 more than 449,800 visitors enjoyed the Georgia National Fair and the Georgia Grown Building was one of the fair’s proudest achievements. The Georgia Grown Building is open every day of the 25^th Georgia National Fair from 9 a.m. until 10 p.m. daily, and 3 p.m. until 10 p.m. on opening day.

“The Georgia Grown Building was a major addition to the Georgia National Fair in 2013 and we expect even greater success as the program continues to grow,” said Teresa Hawk, Georgia National Fairgrounds & Agricenter sponsorships and special programs director.

Proceeds from the Georgia Grown Building aid in benefiting agricultural youth scholarships.
