This Weekend in Georgia

The weekend approaches once more, and here are some tips on how to spend it--Georgia Traveler Style!

The Pink Pig
Saturday, November 14 - Sunday, November 15, 2009
Lenox Square, Atlanta
All aboard for the Pink Pig! Macy's 56-year-old tradition continues this year at Lenox Square in Atlanta. Kids young and old will thrill to the unforgettable experience of riding in Priscilla. There is a small fee involved, and portions of the proceeds go to benefit Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. Click here for more information on dates and times. Georgia Traveler's David Zelski takes a ride on the Pink Pig on an upcoming episode, "The Holiday Tour of Georgia," which is set to premiere Wednesday, December 16 at 7:30 PM on GPB.


Cumming Steam, Antique Tractor, and Gas Engine Exposition

Friday, November 13 - Saturday, November 14, 2009

The Steam, Antique Tractor, and Gas Engine Exposition takes you back in time as you gaze through the various forms of antique farming equipment. There's also a cotton gin, sawmill, and shingle mill! With interactive displays of how all the machines and tractors work, you'll be leaving here with a whole new realm of information! For details, here's the website.

Sportman's Festival

Hunters and fishermen won't want to miss their very own festival.
