WELCOME... TO THEOKEFENOKEE AGRICULTURAL

OPEN LETTER TO OUR PATRONSGreetings and Welcome to the 65th Annual Fair,On behalf of the members of the Exchange Club of Waycross & the Oke-

fenokee Fair Association I would like to extend to you a personal hearty wel-come to the 2019 Okefenokee Agriculture Fair. For the 65th year Waycross will be the site of this area’s Agricultural Fair. We will be working hard to make sure you have a fun fi lled experience that the whole family will enjoy! I want to share with you the anticipation and excitement we are feeling about the upcoming fair and associated events planned for this year

From November 5th through November 9th we will be hosting events that have become tradition at the fair. Beginning with what many fair goers consider the main attraction of the fair, Amusements of America will be pro-viding an array of exciting rides and shows. For you thrill seekers the midway will have an assortment of heart racing, adrenaline charged rides to excite the young and old alike. If you are one who is looking for a calmer experience we will offer rides that are a little more sedate. If you have young children we are ready to thrill and excite them as well. We will have a large mixed variety of children’s rides for even the youngest of fair goers. From a fun fi lled midway, full of amusement rides and shows, to the tasty foods provided by the many vendors, you can expect to have a great time.

Not forgetting our heritage you will be able to refl ect upon the past. The Agricultural Fair gives you a splendid opportunity to reconnect with yester year. Many of us have long since moved off the farm and our children no longer have an opportunity to experience the variety of farm animals. A short trip over to the Animal shelter will provide you the chance to experience live stock that would be common place to a farm house many years ago. You can experience fi rst hand the various hogs, cows & goats. In addition there will be many animal exhibits and competitions by student members of 4-H and FFA. Attending these will not only be entertaining but informative as well.

Make sure to make your way through the 4-H Building and browse over the many mini-booths prepared by the youth of Ware and the surrounding counties. These young people work hard to provide informative displays on topics ranging from, “The Dangers of Texting while Driving” to “Bream Fish-ing in Farm Ponds”. You will be truly amazed at the information these school age competitors provide.

Another tradition of the Okefenokee Agriculture Fair is the old fashion competition of who is the best of the best. Come review the different variet-ies of homemade arts and crafts that are submitted for judging from the local talent in the area. Whether your grandmother enters her handmade quilt, or you mother competes with a jar of her favorite blackberry jam, or maybe you enter your very own crocheted table cloth, everyone is a winner when the entrants display their crafts and wares.

Let’s not forget the many local business and groups that set up their display booths inside the fair building. As you pass through the gates you are sur-rounded by the many patrons who help make the fair possible. Be sure to visit their booths and see what they have to offer.

As a result of the hard work and many hours of service given by the com-mittee members and volunteers involved along with the support from our sponsors, local government agencies, churches and especially you the patron, we would not be able to continue to provide to the local programs that we donate the money to. Money generated at the Fair is returned back into the community in the form of donations to the various charities, scholarships and school programs that are supported by the fair.

We guarantee that you will not want to miss a minute of fun at this year’s fair. Come join us to make it one that you will remember for a long time to come. I want to thank Chris Tatum for his in-put in this letter, thank you Chris. See you at the fair!
