2026 PROJECT: PECANS

Rural Georgia is home to the agricultural and forestry industries, and in 2026, fairgoers have the opportunity to explore three interactive exhibits. Discover how rural Georgia impacts your everyday life through the cotton, forestry, peanut, and, coming soon, pecan industries. ​
