Georgia Mountain Eggfest 2013 - The Movie

Options
It took me long enough but if you want to see some of what went on at last year's Georgia Mountain Eggfest, here's your chance. I finished the movie.

It's a little longer than usual but there were a LOT of people there. That means a LOT of photos.

Hopefully, it will convince some of you who may be hesitating to come to add it to your list of 'must do' things for 2014.

Hope you enjoy it.

    Good job, John! Just proves there is a whole another world of diehard eggers out there that many newbies here don't know that exist.

    Wait a second...where am I? Nice work Leroy. Must be nice to be retired and independently wealthy so you can afford John's admission fees.

    Mickey...  You will be retired.  That means you can be anywhere you want for as long as you want anytime you want.  So just combine the Georgia Mountain Eggfest with the family trip two weeks later by staying there for two weeks.  You can rent a house very reasonable and really enjoy seeing and doing the area.  Or you can just go on to your relatives and spend more time with them. 

    YOU WILL BE RETIRED...  You can do anything you want.  And two weeks of rental house is about what it costs to stay home doing projects.

    I promise you will like the area.

    PLEASE>>>no flame intended>>>OK?

    Many of the folks pictured there have been the backbone to BGE for 10, 15, and 20+ years on the original unsponsored BGE forum where many of us "grew up" and "cut our teeth". I am a mere 14 year regular there on that forum which is known as greeneggers.com. This forum is a corporate forum and only a couple years old. I even doubt my post will last until morning. There are SO MANY WONDERFUL people and eggers with so much eggperience to give over "there". Ever hear the term of "those who stand tall here are standing on the shoulders of giants from the past over there"?
