Get nutty this weekend at the Georgia Peanut Festival

Are you nuts for peanuts? Then there might be a mini road trip in your future.

The Annual Georgia Peanut Festival, which kicks off this weekend in Sylvester, the home of Peter Pan peanut butter, is a celebration of all things peanut. Activities include a peanut parade, arts and crafts vendors, kids activities, live music and all sorts of peanut treats.

If you're getting excited, here are some facts to get you in a peanut state of mind:
