The Bacon Run, Marietta

One doesn't have to wander the grounds of the Superior Plumbing North Georgia State Fair to find something interesting. The sprawling grounds sport a wealth of attractions including the James H. Drew Carnival, a cornerstone of the fair, which features over 40 rides and plenty of carnival games. A true fair experience would not be complete without great food as the grounds offer an abundance of vendors doling out everything from cotton candy to corn dogs.
