State Fair to Be Macon Center for Georgia Exhibition
A letter from President Waddell outlines plans for a statewide fair at Macon as the nucleus of a future World’s Fair movement. The premium committee, appointed by the executive committee, secured friendly relations with Macon authorities and announced a generous premium list. Macon’s central location, rail access, and park trail combine with favorable weather to support a statewide event. The 1892 fair aims to develop agricultural, industrial, horticultural, and mineral interests and invites county clubs, alliances, and industries to participate. The letter also notes the fair’s role as a prelude to the Chicago World’s Columbian Exposition and calls for broad support from Georgia newspapers.
