Letter From The President
We are coming off a great convention this past January at the Emory Conference Hotel in Georgia. Attendance was the best it has ever been, and we extend our sincere thanks to Stephen Shimp, Johnny Webb, Lisa Turner, Teresa and Gary Hawk, Sandy Kusuda, and Jennifer Garlock for their hard work and dedication in making the event such a success.
In 2027, we will be returning to South Carolina. Following the tremendous conference we enjoyed in North Charleston in 2025, we are excited to gather there once again. Be sure to mark your calendars and make plans to attend!
2027 Joint Convention
January 28–30, 2027
Embassy Suites
Charleston Area Convention Center
North Charleston, South Carolina
We are celebrating more than 15 years of partnership with our South Carolina friends, and it has truly been a rewarding collaboration. I often say that it is the people who make the party, and we could not be more fortunate to be part of such an outstanding group that comes together to network, share ideas, and solve challenges.
Please let us know if we can be of assistance in any way.
On behalf of the Georgia Fairs Association officers and directors, we wish everyone a fantastic and successful season!
Sincerely,
Bill Watson
President, Georgia Fairs Association
Assistant Manager, North Georgia State Fair
