Flatlanders Frolic Festival

The 39th annual Flatlanders Festival was a success once again! What could make Labor Day weekend more enjoyable then spending it with family, friends, and a great community? The Flatlanders Fall Frolic consisted of arts and crafts, plenty of vendors, great food, and much more. The smell of funnel cakes and fresh kettle corn was sure to entice the appetite of many visitors. The festival began with a 5K race and ended with music and dancing in the streets! The wonderful music, featuring the Tim Cochran Band, seemed to be pleasing to all ages. The event was an enjoyable and inexpensive way for families and friends to celebrate the Labor Day weekend. The Southern treats and wonderful turnout was a great way to welcome the Fall weather to South Georgia.
