The arrival of the Georgia National Fair in Perry in 1990 -- held each October -- proved to be stiff competition for the Macon fair.
After more than 160 years in Macon, the Georgia State Fair has moved to the Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton.

....The Georgia National Fair in Perry in 1990 has been the benchmark of our State Fair since it opened. What happen in Macon is probably the same things that happened to our Great Southeastern Fair at Lakewood ( South Atlanta ).

.....The company, that I worked for had a factory in Perry, and we had a lot of employees arrived to our factory in South Atlanta. I would begin asking them about their Fair.

...Imagine our Clayton County Beach, and now, Imagine The Macon Fair. With the closing of the Macon Fair, all of the bad elements will probably relocate to The Perry Fair.
...If anyone knows anything about Perry, Ga.....Know This; When The National Rifle Association ( N.R.A. ) holds a rally, it is usually held in Perry, Home of our prior Governor Sonny Purdue.

...Moving The State Fair to The Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton, won't help much.....Perry will remain the staple of our State Fair in this State.
