Georgia State Fair returns with pandemic precautions

The Georgia State Fair returned this past weekend in Henry County — with several COVID-19 safety measures in place.

Guidelines to comply with COVID-19 precautions include temperature checks, mandatory mask wearing and social distancing.

The 17th annual fair is being held at the Atlanta Motor Speedway through Sunday, Oct. 11. While other fairs and festivals have been canceled this year, this year’s annual state fair still offers an array of rides, shows, food and even live animals.
