Youth Educational Exhibits

The Georgia National Fair’s core mission has always been to support and promote the remarkable achievements of our young people. Whether in the livestock barns or through FFA and 4-H competitive exhibits, our team works tirelessly throughout the year to provide a blue-ribbon experience for every youth exhibitor, along with their families and friends who cheer them on.

The Georgia National Fair would like to welcome all youth exhibitors who were unable to submit their FFA and 4-H projects due to Hurricane Helene. Youth projects can be submitted to the Miller Murphy Howard building on Monday, October 7th and Tuesday, October 8th. Youth exhibitors and their immediate family will be given free admission to the Fair on Monday the 7th or Tuesday the 8th with the entry of their project.

In these trying moments, we have been working nonstop to find the best possible ways to continue supporting our youth exhibitors. Our hearts are heavy knowing that, despite our efforts, some aspects fell short. But we remain committed to Georgia’s youth and their future, and we will continue striving to make decisions that reflect their best interests and honor their hard work.

Beyond the extension of drop-off days, we will be creating a digital platform where every project can be proudly displayed on our social media and website. Because no matter the circumstances, every exhibitor deserves to have their hard work recognized. The Georgia National Fair would not be what it is without all of you.

We hope to see you and your projects at the Fair!
