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.”
“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.
The Department is
