Mark Baker, Organizer of the Perry Georgia Auto Fair, says this will be the first year this group has been put together and the 1st Annual Perry Georgia Auto Fair.

The show includes trucks, cars, and motorcycles and winners can earn up to $500 in cash prizes.

The Antique Agriculture Show is celebrating its’ 3rd annual show. The event features agriculture tools and methods used throughout the early 1900’s and offers live demonstrations such as peanut thrashing, corn & cane grinding, mini-tractor pulling, and indoor and outdoor plowing. There will also be over 200 exhibits displaying antique tractors, farm machinery, toys, and home goods.

Hamilton Halford, Organizer and Founder of the Georgia National Antique Agriculture Show, is excited for the upcoming show and says the event promotes tourisms in Perry. “We have folks come to display and visit from all over the country. The first year we had 197 exhibits, and last year we grew to over 260 exhibits.”

One exhibitor had this to say about his experience participating in the Antique Agriculture Show the past two years; “We collect and show antique tractors, but it’s really about the friendships and camaraderie we share with our fellow exhibitors and visitors.” The exhibitor went on to say, “The show has grown a lot since the first year. We look forward to coming to the event each year and encourage other exhibitors and visitors to come out as well. It’s going to be wonderful!”

The Perry Georgia Auto fair will be held along the Midway and the Antique Agriculture Show will take place throughout the Fairgrounds. Admission to attend this dual event is $5 and only cash will be accepted. Fairgrounds officials note that all visitors must enter through the West Gate.
