Gotta love a good Muzik Express ride, especially one themed to the Himalayas. I dub this ride Disco Yeti: The Ride!

I rode this last year, but didn’t ride it this year. Honestly may be the most intense ride at the fair. The dropping sensation while you’re spinning around is pretty intense!

The Wildcat is such an iconic coaster. If anyone from the North Georgia State Fair is watching, put that cat on a shirt!

The Sky Ride is always such a relaxing way to get from one end of the fair to another. Especially at night when everything is lit up!

New this year was a circus that was included with the price of admission. It was absolutely great, and I love that they had the hula hoop woman’s daughter come out briefly to say hi – super cute!

Going to county fairs is one of my favorite things to do, and I love this one. I did notice most of the rides were the same as last year, so it would be nice if there were some different ones in the future to change things up a bit. But the addition of the circus was awesome, and a really great value given the fact that it was a fun, long show that didn’t cost anything extra.

I already can’t wait to visit the North Georgia State Fair next year!
