Sunbelt - Sunbelt Expo Program 2019

EXPO PARTNERS

KATIBETH MIMS

THE GEORGIA NATIONAL FAIRGROUNDS and Agricenter began with just an idea that was dreamed up by Representative Larry Walker in 1983. The first fair took place in 1990 and, with it, came the Georgia National Fair’s mission to showcase Georgia’s agricultural industry and promote the agricultural achievements of Georgia’s youth.

This year, Oct. 3-13, 2019, the Georgia National Fairgrounds celebrated 30 years of concerts, entertainment, education, and family fun.

With similar missions and all of its amazing history and success, the Sunbelt Ag Expo could not be more excited to start a new partnership with the Georgia National Fair this year.

“[ The Georgia National Fair] has lots going
on this year but we are very excited about
the partnership between the two companies,”
says Keaton Walker, Marketing and Sponsor-
ship Director for the Georgia National Fair-
grounds and Agricenter. “Being from Moultrie,
this is a little bit of a point of pride bringing
a bit of Moultrie to the fair and bringing a bit
of the fair to Moultrie.”
With both the Georgia National Fair and
the Sunbelt Ag Expo happening in the same
month, some great events have been planned
between the two businesses.

The Georgia National Fair will be on the expo grounds promoting their Georgia National Antique Agriculture Show. This show will take place Nov. 14-16, 2019, at the Georgia National Fairgrounds.

True to its name, the show will include antique tractors, trucks, and equipment and educational exhibits. There will also be tours of local farms, a cotton gin, a peanut warehouse and a pecan harvesting operation. The Georgia National Antique Agriculture Show will be free to everyone of any age. As amazing as this show sounds, don’t forget to stop by and see the Georgia National Fair on the expo grounds to learn more about this show and enter into raffles to win some prizes.

Not only will the Georgia National Fair be a part of the Sunbelt Ag Expo, but the expo will also be a part of the fair. The Sunbelt Ag Expo will be sponsoring College Day on the second Thursday in October, Oct. 10. College Day allows college students to come to the fair for half the price of regular tickets.

The Sunbelt Ag Expo will also be sponsoring the Diamond Rio concert on the night of Oct. 10. Come and have fun and listen to some great music to celebrate this great new partnership.

The partnership will allow two businesses so passionate about promoting the agricultural industry and celebrating Georgia’s youths’ accomplishments to come together and strengthen their efforts. The Sunbelt Ag Expo and the Georgia National Fair are both very excited for this partnership and what it will bring in the future.
