"Who doesn’t love the fair? There's something nostalgic and comforting about them. From
thrill rides, petting zoos to snow cones, turkey legs and funnel
cakes the fair is where the folks gather round to be happy and spend their day. Fairs are full of tradition and family fun, but best of all is the only place where it's okay to laugh, scream and cry at the same time. The fair not only help us revive childhood memories but is one of those places where laughter becomes a healing balm of the soul."

The
annual Atlanta Fair returns to Turner Field this week with new
attractions, activities and fun for the whole family. Beginning March
8 and running nightly through April 8, visitors can delight in fair
favorites, test their strength at the Hi-Striker and check out all of
the pageants and programs that the fair has to offer.
Each
weekend, wild critters will be making an appearance from the
Ellijay’s Wilderness Animal Sanctuary exhibit in North Georgia.
Popular kid-friendly rides such as the beloved carousel and Mardi Gras Glass house will be returning, while thrill seekers can experience the “Ring of Fire,” a new feature that will loop its riders upside down over 45 feet in the air.
