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.

Yes there are a number of vendors selling home made wares and even a few wholesalers of various items but nothing out of place for a small town festival. Some features for the kids: pony rides, face painting (pro), bungee jumps, and just about any kids food you can imagine. I would recommend a wagon or comfy stroller for those still adjusting to walking as the pavement is nice but still a scrape hazard with a few lumps and dips along the curbs. For adults there are a number of eating options price appropriately for a festival. This year they had not one but two Caribbean eateries attending serving Jamaican and Virgin Island dishes. You will have to eat something the smells wafting up and down the street cannot be ignored! Overall while a simple and smaller festival it is a great day out with the kids and a good way to stretch the legs while seeing local and traveling businesses of Georgia.

This fabulous mural is painted on the side of a building just north of the center of town - an intersection with what is probably the only traffic signal and a few buildings - and you'll see it if you're driving southbound on Georgia SR 85. Gay has had a post office since 1886 (it was closed for the day when I was here or I'd have tried to get something postmarked "Gay") and was incorporated by the Georgia General Assembly in 1907. Gay's big event is the annual "Cotton Pickin' Fair" that is held on the first weekend of every May and October. I have no idea what goes on at the fair - it appears to be a big outdoor market according to C C's review, https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-cotton-pickin-fair-gay I feel like the town is missing a marketing opportunity. They could call themselves the Gay Capital of the South or something like that. We're in the 21st Century now. There's nothing wrong with being Gay. The town does not have its own website. Their Facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/townofgay.georgia/. [Review 16654 overall - 458 in Georgia - 166 of 2022.]

The helicopter we flew in served in the Vietnam and Desert Storm wars- saw active duty. They can seat 10, our party had eight and John & I got to take the gunners seats facing out! Doors wide open the sounds of the engine, rotors and wind was deafening and exhilarating! We were belted in tightly for the impending roller coaster of a flight and it was a ride! Wide banking turns had us facing the ground below and then the pilot would bank the other way and we would be only seeing endless blue sky. Even had a few hover and dips thrown in! We had views of the St John's river and surrounding area. The old Navy Docks and shipyards. We departed just as the reenactment was starting- but the 15 minute (maybe 20 minute) ride had us back in time to still see plenty of action. I've ridden in helicopters before for tours- this was a COMPLETELY different experience and I highly recommend. Plus you are supporting a living history museum, veterans and a non-profit. If you see them at an event- grab a ticket and hang on for a hell of a ride!
