Need some help from South Ga folks

[lostchild]

Well since the Man himself mentioned the Perry Fairgrounds in the original post I just assumed that was south enough for him and those of y'all above Atlanta.
How bout the Shrine Park in South Macon? You can see it from I 75.

That is the extent of my interaction with Macon my whole life.
Seeing it from I75/I475 as I drive by going somewhere interesting.

I used to tell people that Macon was an old Indian word that translated into Mediocrity because that USED to describe Macon perfectly. It wasn't great but it wasn't bad either. There was never much to do in Macon or many really good paying jobs. But at the same time it was affordable when plenty of other places weren't. And then along came Mayor Jack Ellis...

Speaking of distance - I'd ride a bicycle down to Miami if they'd set up a dang mod dunking booth for charity...

Yeah great, except that's over 180 miles from me. Yeesh.
If ya'll are going to have one near Macon, may as well have it in Atlanta again. And please stop batting around the words, "South Georgia"!

So we're supposed to have one close to u and 180 miles from the rest of us in SOUTH GEORGIA?

Trying to figure out where that is.

Right across from the gas station that's next to the car wash before u turn right where Swanson house is. Kinda by the old drug store.

It's okay but blackberry is better.

Blackberry has larger seeds and blueberries are abundant now in SW Georgia. A blueberry cobbler is really good!

Macon area will draw Atlanta area folks further south? prolly not.

Blueberry cobbler IS good and you don't have to dig them tiny seeds out of your teeth like with blackberry.

I'm interested in trying to have a show in South GA, maybe this fall if we can find a place. I've heard a lot of suggestions for the fairgrounds in Perry but they said no, they have too many gun shows and do not want another one.

Any other suggestions for a good place to have one somewhere in the lower half of the state?

Little Ocmulgee State Park in McRea Ga south of Macon on 441. Meeting rooms accommodations and restaurant.
