Cumming Fair full of family fun Eleven-day event runs Oct. 2-12

By Crystal Ledford

For the Forsyth County News

Fall is in the air, and in Cumming that means one important thing — the Cumming Country Fair & Festival is on the way.

“In the city of Cumming, we always look forward to the fair,” said Mayor H. Ford Gravitt, noting that in years past, the event has drawn more than 165,000 people.

“It’s the biggest event of the entire year. It’s a great time to see old friends and to make new ones.”

This year’s 11-day festival runs Oct. 2-12 at the Cumming Fairgrounds, 235 Castleberry Road, and features a wide array of down-home country fun.

Hours are 4 to 10 p.m.

Monday-Thursday; 4 p.m. to midnight Friday; 10 a.m.-midnight Saturday; and 12:30 to 9 p.m.

Sunday.

There is truly something for every member of family to enjoy, ranging from the more than 40 classic midway rides and numerous games provided by the Great James H. Drew Exposition, to historical displays and demonstrations at the fairgrounds’ Heritage and Cherokee Indian villages.

Other highlights of the fair include top-quality country music acts under the fairgrounds’ covered arena venue. The 2014 concert lineup includes: • The Oak Ridge Boys at 8 p.m. Oct. 3 • Colt Ford at 8 p.m.

Oct. 7 • The Charlie Daniels Band at 8 p.m. Oct. 9 All concerts are free with fair admission, which is $7 for adults and $3 for students 5-18; children younger than 4 are free.

Parking is $3, and ride tickets are $1.25 each, $20 for 21, $50 for 55, or $100 for 120. All rides require more than one ticket.

A number of daily attractions will also captivate fair-goers both young and old.

On the 2014 roster are

Judges Choice Warm Fall Memories

returning favorites: Brian Ruth, Master of the Chainsaw; North Georgia Petting Zoo and Pony Rides; Oscar the Robot; Statue Viva; and the Tiger Encounter.

New this year is Galaxy Girl, a high-flying aerial act that combines gymnastics and dance.

Marvel Super Heroes Team will perform at 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. during Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Day on Oct. 8, and the American Bull Riders Tour will again close out this year’s fair with competitions at 8 p.m. Oct. 11 and at 6 p.m. Oct. 12 in the covered arena.

Tummies will enjoy classic fair fare such as corn dogs, hamburgers, hot dogs, nachos and barbecue.

There’s also more unique options like deep-fried Oreos and candy bars, home-made ice cream and hand-pressed apple cider.

Coolers, alcohol and pets are not allowed.

There’s no limit on money-savings deals at the fair.

Almost every day offers either free or reduced admission and/or ride ticket discounts.

Fall memories captured in the last few moments of the sun setting behind the silhouettes of people riding the Cumming Fair gondolas.

The warm color hints at the still lingering moderate summer evening temperatures and the silhouettes of the gondolas and the flages invoke the sights, sounds, and smells of fair nights. I can almost smell the corndogs, popcorn and cotton candy looking at this.

Visitors flock to Indian, Heritage villages A

trip to Heritage Village and the Cherokee Indian Village at the Cumming Country Fair & Festival is like a trip back in time.

The historical tour is one of the fair’s main attractions and is open every day Oct. 2-12.

Both villages offer living history demonstrations from the time when Forsyth County was Cherokee territory through its early settlement and agrarian beginnings. The Cherokee Indian Village consists of several American Indian structures, including log cabins, a seven-sided council house, teepees, a corncrib and smokehouse.

A tavern, which offered lodging to travelers in the early 19th century including President James Monroe, stands on the fairgrounds. It was owned by Chief James Vann, who brought Morovian missionaries into Cherokee territory and was one of the richest men in the United States.

The tavern was moved from near the banks of the Etowah River in northwest Forsyth County. Cherokee Village also features a display of rocks etched by prehistoric tribes between 4,000 and 5,000 years ago. The markings served as some

of the earliest signs of civilization in Forsyth County.

Inter-tribal American Indians will perform three to four shows per day, featuring dancing, drum and flute playing, warrior demonstrations and other traditional interactions. Vendors will also offer tribal jewelry, crafts and artwork for sale.

Heritage Village is a reproduction, turn-of-the-19th century town and living history demonstration. Authentic working examples of antique farm machinery include everything from a cotton gin to a saw mill. The town features old country churches and a one-room schoolhouse, doctor’s and dentist’s offices, a post office and general store. In recent years some changes were made to Heritage Village.

Several of the buildings were physically turned around to face the midway rather than the fairgrounds’ restrooms as they had in the past.

Many of the artifacts and pieces of equipment were donated to the fair by local families. Other items were purchased at area estate auctions. Heritage Village exhibits are manned by dozens of volunteers who have made demonstrating the old ways at the fair a fall tradition.

Dentist office

The barbershop features an assortment of old hair tonics set against a mirrored shelf background and other historic decorations.

Many of the furnishings, including the barber chair, came from a Chicago neighborhood where mobster Al Capone once lived. The barbershop is in operation daily and offers fairgoers actual haircuts.

The blacksmith shop was donated to the fair by several local families in 1995. This demonstration will be operated nightly at the fair.

This is an early century dentist office with the old dental chair, X-ray machine, drills and tools of the trade. The dentist office is staffed by local dentists throughout the fair.

General store The general store this year has been relocated to the building next door to exhibit hall, allowing for use File photo of a large front porch.

Cider press The cider press was also donated to the fair in 1995 by the Mashburn family. The Mashburns had a roadside stand each fall where they sold apples, cider and fried pies. The cider mill is operated nightly.

Doctor’s office The doctor’s office includes a collection of artifacts, photographs, old medicines, nurse’s and doctor’s bags and a wooden wheelchair.

Post office The post office at the Heritage Village is worth a visit. Each display is an authentic piece of post office equipment and is staffed by a postal employee. Stamp collectors delight in snagging the special fair postmark every year.

Quilting party Fairgoers wishing to see some of the finest quilts in Forsyth County should make a trip to the quilting booth. Each night of the Fair local quilters meet and create at the booth.

Typically the group has one of these beautiful quilts out for raffle during the fair.

Saw mill The Moore saw mill was donated to the fairgrounds in 1995. It was originally located in Silver City and operated by the Moore family until 1990. Now the sawmill is powered by a tractor or a steam engine nightly at the fair and the annual gas and steam engine expo.

munity and is said to be more than 100 years old. It was in operation until about 1950. Now the corn mill is operated nightly at the Cumming Country Fair & Festival.

The grist mill The grist mill was owned and operated by Harley Thomas in the Silver City community. The mill was donated by the Thomas family to the fairgrounds in 1995 and is operated nightly.

Steam engine shed The steam engine shed is home to many of the county’s old working steam engines. These tractors have all been restored and are used during the fair to pull the saw mill and are displayed and used for various chores at

the annual steam and gas expo. At the Cumming Fourth of July Parade these steam engines lead the parade with whistles blowing.
