OPEN LETTER TO
OUR PATRONS
Greetings and Welcome to the Fair,
On behalf of the members of the Exchange Club of Waycross & the Okefenokee Fair Association I would like to
extend you a personal welcome to the 2014 Okefenokee
Agricultural fair. For the 60th year Waycross will be the
site of this area’s Agricultural Fair. I guarantee that this
Fair will be loads of fun for the whole family! I would like
to take a moment to share with you the excitement of our
upcoming fair.
Starting November 11th through the 16th we will be
hosting events that have become a tradition at the fair. For
our main attraction, we are proud to have Amusements of
America and their 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 young at
heart. If you are one who is looking for a calmer experience
we will offer rides with a little more sedated side. If you have
young children we will be ready to thrill and excite them as
well with a large variety of children’s rides for the youngest of
fair goers. From a fun filled midway, full of amusement rides
and shows, to the tasty foods provided by many vendors, and
other local clubs from our area you can expect to have a great
time.
Not forgetting our heritage you will be able to reflect
upon the past. The Agricultural Fair gives people a splendid
opportunity to reconnect with yester years. Many of us have
long since moved off the farm and our children no longer
have the opportunity to experience the variety of farm animals. A short trip over to the Animal shelter will provide you
a chance to experience live stock that would be a common
place to a farm house many years ago. You can experience
firsthand the various hogs, cows, and goats that we will
have on display.
