State fair battle ends with Macon bid win
After a heated fight over naming, the State Agricultural Society chose Macon for this year’s Georgia State Fair, rejecting Atlanta’s push to merge with the Southern Interstate Fair. Macon business leaders pledged substantial funds to back the bid, while Atlanta offered premium support, but the Macon committee prevailed and plans move toward hosting the state fair in Macon this fall.
