Fall In Georgia


Fall is my favorite time of year in Georgia. As you can see our leaves are beginning to change in the backyard.
The days are beautiful, the nights cool and its time for the Georgia Apple Festival on the second and third weekend of October in Ellijay, GA.
Producing 600,000 bushels of apples each fall, Ellijay/Gilmer County is Georgia's Apple Capital, so it's only natural that the second and third weekends of October each year, people from all over the nation come to Ellijay to celebrate the apple. Handmade arts and crafts, homegrown entertainment, and plain old fun, combine with every apple product imaginable to make the weekends a family adventure.
Throw in the colorful fall leaves, crisp mountain air, sky-blue days, and star-studded nights and you'll want to visit again and again. Sponsored by the Gilmer County Chamber of Commerce and the Ellijay Lions Club, the festivities include a car show and a parade. For more visit: www.georgiaapplefestival.org
