Invited counties included Clark, Morgan, Oconee, Oglethorpe, Putnam and Taliaferro. This area is home to Lake Oconee with 19,000 acres of water and 374 miles of shoreline that is a man-made reservoir created by the Wallace Dam on the Oconee River and one of the many beautiful areas of our state.

I enjoyed visiting the festival with the many vendors, food trucks and entertainment as well as beautiful weather.
