This weekend, I had a chance to take the family to the Atlanta Fair at Turner Field! First of all, I LOVE the going to the fair. Remember my earlier post about Things from my childhood I insist my kids experience? Well, I left this one off. I used to go every year in NY at (formerly) Shea Stadium and oh the memories…
I think my kids have are probably starting to form the same good memories of the Atlanta Fair. What do you think?
The Atlanta Fair will be in town only for another week – until April 2nd. Here’s what you need to know:
