RURAL GEORGIA EXPERIENCES
2026 PROJECT: PECANS
Georgia's Rural Center has created collaborative partnerships with entities across the state to bring immersive experiences straight from rural Georgia. 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.
