Community Meeting Towns County Tourism Association and the Georgia Mountain Fair sponsored the 1st GA Mountain Moonshine Cruize-in car show in August 2009. The show brought approximately 5000 visitors to our area and was a tremendous success. The car show will be back in August 12,13,14, 2010 for three days and the promoter Rakes Parrish will be speaking on Thursday, February 11 at 5:30 PM in the Anderson Music Hall at the fairground.
