Great Ogeechee Seafood Festival 2013

Have a hankering for gator or shark bites?  Fried shrimp?  Hush puppies?  Carnival rides? Crafts?  Entertainment?  Well, look no further!  This weekend has been a feast for the eyes and the stomach as Richmond Hill hosted its annual Great Ogeechee Seafood Festival in Gregory Park.  There was truly something for everyone.  Each year the festival seems to draw more and more folks.  Different bands performed each night, with Collective Soul filling the Saturday night slot.  I went on Friday night and enjoyed Georgia Fire, a southern rock band.

A $20 bracelet entitled the wearer to unlimited rides that were equally designed for younger and older children.  The typical carnie type games were also available.

The weather was perfect.

And, when it was time to eat, the variety of options made it difficult to make a decision.  Ample seating was available under the pole barn.

Georgia Fire put on a fun show, with the crowd doing a little sing-a-long and dancing.
