This is the premier event in Georgia? Coweta could do a better job. The $5 adult entry fee is a bit much, considering it gets you nothing more than access to the grounds. The "people's choice" BBQ sampler was out of food by 1:00 p.m., and the coordinators did not provide nearly enough seating for everyone. They should also try to attract more vendors and activities if they really expect this to draw a crowd.
