Found really delicious honey, lots of beautiful pottery and truly fun metal wind art. Pictures of what I bought included. Going again in Oct. and it will be combined with a car show. YEA! Visited the free booths across the street, but it was a made in China market not a true craftsman fair. Pay the entry fee and skip the resale junk. PS the "HAWAIIAN SHAVE ICE" on free side is nothing like famous Matsumoto Shave Ice in Hawaii. Skip it too.

The location was cool but could be on the dangerous side due to the train still running. Not many places to park and the places you can park they were charging $10. If you plan on eating any food from the trucks make sure your prepared to spend some money. There were three different stages with many local schools performing and also dance schools. Unfortunately it rained all Sunday so we did not get to catch any of the performances.

THE KID IN ME The…read morekid in me loves a big festival in a small town. Kennesaw is the perfect backdrop for this annual festival that features a parade, musical performances, food and arts and crafts. I was determined to get to the festival regardless of the weather. As always, we arrive early, just after 8:30 so that we can get the lay of the land and take it all in. Parking was great, very close, well-staffed with attendants and only cost $5. Can't beat it! The parade usually precedes the beginning of the festivities. I did not get to see the beginning of the parade because I was distracted by one of the jewelry vendors and was too busy purchasing items. We did however get there before all was done. Every parade is unique, but audience participation is essential if you really want to have a good time. This parade is not as open as others. The streets are very narrow, so gates are used to contain the crowds. They don't throw candy from floats because they don't have them. They actually walk along the route and politely put the candy into the hands of the kids. If you yell out "Hey! I want candy too , they will give you some. If you yell out to the square dancers to "do-si-do", they will comply. The Steampunk group was one of my favorite as the fashion is just so cool and their sign read something like: Steampunk gun club and sewing circle, (interesting combination). That Harrison High School Band was the bomb! They sound so professional! After the parade, we continued to check out the various vendors. Some of my favorite vendors are the jewelry vendors that travel around with their wares. Stones to Wear is my favorite as I love sterling silver and big bold pieces. Phil and Sharon are like family and we always stop by and visit with them. The Panjo guy was unique. He took kitchen pans, (cake, brownie, heart-shaped etc) and made banjos out of them. He actually did a demonstration which was very cool. If you like dulcimer music, then you would appreciate this. I want to give a special shout-out to Superior Plumbing who provided superior toilet facilities complete with sinks and running water. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! If you decide to go, be careful as the ground is very wet and muddy. I wore sport sandals that can be easily cleaned and are quick to dry. If you don't want to eat typical carny food, eat before you go or eat afterwards because the only healthy vendor we saw was the Smoothie vendor. We wanted something more substantial so we just ate after we left. We had a great day and it was made even more special because of the train that frequently runs right through the festival! Love it!

What a hot mess!…read more Promoting themselves as World's largest Country Music Festival, it wasn't even close! Originally scheduled at the Foxhall Resort and Sporting Club in Douglasville, but after "a number of issues developed between the festival promoters and owners of its original venue which they were unable to resolve," it moved to the VFW Fairgrounds in Carrollton. In addition to the move, it was also announced that it would now be free. All those who had already purchased tickets now had to deal with requesting refunds. They also lost their sponsors, Bud Light and Shocktop, presumably again due to unsolvable issues. The carnival which was supposed to run all week, shut down on Sunday, presumably due to lack of customers. Afterwards I saw several complaints posted on their facebook page which were quickly removed. In fact, their whole page seems to be gone now. Among the complaints are workers who didn't get paid, vendors who didn't get paid, and BBQ winners with checks that bounced.

I was excited for my first visit to Tomorrowworld this year but it was literally a miserable 6…read moremiles hike back to a field where thousands of people were waiting in hopes of one Uber car arriving. If I could give no stars I would, it was a waste of time and money. Tommorworld should really do something after such a terrible experience. After the concert ended at 1am, crowds of people stormed to leave the muddy event, the staff directed us to wait in a terribly long line to go to Kiss and Ride or take an Uber, we arrived to the front to find out we didn't even need to wait in that line. We had no idea where to go next other than walk 3 miles back to the taxi/uber drop off, which felt like more than 8 miles after enduring the festival. The only way out was offering to pay a random person a large sum of cash that parked at the festival to take us from the area after walking and waiting 3 1/2 hours. If we didn't think of getting a random car to drive us out, we probably still would have been waiting for an Uber car to arrive at 11am this morning. Good luck to anyone who is attending the concert today after braving Saturday's crazy fiasco. September 26, 2015 was my first and last time ever attending Tomorrowworld!

So I have gone two years in a row. The first two things I noted in year two was the following-…read more 1.) The growth of people video taping Go Pro. Maybe I just did not notice it the first year? It can be a little annoying to have people standing around with camera's on sticks around you. 2.) In this snapchat, Instagram era girls are slutting it out, more and more. Lots more REAL skimpy outfits in year two. No complaints here. The lineup of music in year two was simply not as good as year one. Kaskade to close, sure it was OK, but Armin the year before was WAY better. I mean at one point Kaskade just plays the summer anthem, no mixing, no remix....BORING..... The grounds were dusty this year. It had not really rained in Atlanta for 3 weeks, so it was like a rendition of Mad Max. Dusty. I suppose I can't really fault the Event people for this, but it was kind of a drag. Like many, I was listening to XM Radio's coverage of Ultra Japan on the long drive over to Chattahoochie Hills. It seems even that festivals line up might have been better then Tomorrow World. For inaugural year most people will agree the Pete Tong Stage on Saturday was for sure one of the highlights. For this year many people including myself enjoyed the more techno centric line up of the Richie Hawtin stage. In general I love that my city of Atlanta hosts the largest music festival in the US. That said, it is still a music festival in the US. Americans don't really dance. They stare at the DJ, use Go Pro, and pose for Instragram photos, as opposed to truly getting down like festivals in Europe or South America.

It's amazing how many different artists are here. At least 200 tents set up along the concrete pathways of the park. Jewelry, paintings, sculptures, each one completely unique. I saw some neat wrist straps made from machine badges, sculptures made with lunch boxes, glass works that looked so beautifully delicate, amber necklaces and bracelets, coffee cups and mugs mde from clay, landscapes and portraits. One artist's format uses insects (not actual insects, reproductions) and the beautiful purple butterflies fill a 3-foot by 5-foot picture frame. That one was for sale for $5000! Food vendors included barbecue, pineapple drinks, noodles, turkey legs, Ben & Jerry's, chicken strips and "meat on a stick." Credit card payments accepted. The festival is free to enter and there was some security. An Atlanta police officer idled by on his motorcycle a couple of times. It started off crowded and then the rain seemed to chase a few people away but by early afternoon, the crowds were back. We parked on a side street in a completely legal space. Free. There is paid parking nearby. Note that pets are NOT allowed in the park during the festival and Atlanta regulations prohibit smoking in the park, too.

I have seen local festivals selling a lot more variety of things.

The Georgia National Fair in Perry is the actual good one but kind of far from Atlanta. I have not been to the North Georgia State Fair. Have you ever been to a fair on in a grocery store parking lot such as Plaza Fiesta I'm Buford highway? This is similar except slightly larger. There's a lot of carnival rides and overpriced food. My problem with this fair was that none of the ticket people knew anything about the chainsaw juggling act and couldn't point me in the right direction. Nobody knew anything about the wrestling either. I eventually found the wrestling but it was hidden behind some ferris wheel. The only thing that's worth watching is the circus performance. It's definitely not Cirque du Soleil quality but it's good for the kids. Would I come here again? No. I don't think it's worth the hour drive for me.
