“We grouped with the Middle Georgia Community Food Bank, and they’re always looking for ways to fill the shelves at the food pantries,” GNF Marketing and Business Director Maggie Lane said. “This is just a way to get people excited about the fair, save them a couple dollars in their pockets at the fair and a way to help those in need.”
