Addilynn Beyreis, 7, of Pelham, learns about what Celine Moncrief and her horse, Stu, do when they’ re not out at the Sunbelt Expo. Photo by Adelia Ladson to go to is way at the back of the grounds or what is actually called the“ North End” of the show. It’ s run by the Colquitt County FFA and, there, you can get smoked pork chops, grilled chicken and all of the fixin’ s to go with. Not only is lunch from there delicious but you’ re also supporting a local student organization. When you’ re looking for dessert, choose from ice cream, peach cobbler, donuts, frappes and, of course, funnel cake. If you are starting your day out early at the Expo, there are also some food vendors that offer a variety of breakfast items, including coffee to get you going.
If you have kids, the Sunbelt Expo is a fantastic place to let them learn about where their food and clothing come from and just agriculture in general. The livestock and other animals always seem to be a big hit with them, especially the younger ones. Not to mention, there are several universities represented at the show. Some of them, like the University of Georgia, Fort Valley State University and ABAC, have permanent buildings for their exhibits.
Visitors can ride a tram from the exhibit area to the fields where cotton, peanuts, corn, soybeans, and hay are being harvested. These harvesting demonstrations, as well as tillage demonstrations, equipment driving ranges, irrigation technology and precision ag demonstrations all provide opportunities to see and compare a wide range of equipment in an actual working setting. Company representatives and specialists are in the fields to answer visitor questions. Photo courtesy of Sunbelt Agricultural Exposition
