Atlanta's Country Living Fair :: And a Give-away!

**UPDATE: Give-away is closed and the winner has been emailed - thanks for entering!**

Hello!  It's that time of year again - time for Country Living Magazine to bring their very own Fair to the Atlanta area - at Stone Mountain Park on Oct. 23, 24 & 25.  My friends and I love going to this even every year.  I wrote about it last year and you can read about that here.

This year I am very excited to be able to offer two free Early Bird Weekend passes again!  Read more about the give-away at the end of the post :)

"The Country Living Fair brings the magazine’s content to life and gives readers access to a unique shopping experience along the wooded paths of beautiful Stone Mountain Park. The Fair will feature 200+ vendors from more than 25 states, including antiques sellers, food purveyors, artists, furniture makers, crafters, and more. Guests will also have a chance to meet Country Living editors, attend cooking, crafting, and DIY demonstrations, sample locally-sourced, artisanal food, and shop the Harvest & Gourmet Market and the Country Living General Store."

Have you guys heard of The Fabulous Beekman Boys?  They have a show on the Cooking Channel and were on The Amazing Race a couple of years ago - they will be at the Fair! And they will make a special appearance on Saturday, October 24 at Noon on the main stage for a Q & A with Country Living editor-in-chief Rachel Hardage Barrett.  I hunted them down one year and they were nice enough to let me do a selfie with them - they are awesome! 

Also - I am super excited that Ree Drummond, also known as “The Pioneer Woman” will make a special appearance on Friday, October 23 at 2 p.m. on the Main Stage. She will then have a book-signing of her newest cookbook The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Dinnertime: Comfort Classics, Freezer Food, 16-Minute Meals and Other Delicious Ways to Solve Supper! at 3 p.m. in the Country Living General Store.
