We had some crazy weather (rain & even a little hail) leading up to the Fri Meet & Greet at the Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds. Then it cleared up nicely. My wife and I arrived a little late and a minute later a tractor pulling a coach stopped to pick us up. Here's what our ride from the parking lot to the exhibition hall:

The Meet & Greet was held in the Exhibit Hall

Outside the hall were 5 LBGEs and 2 SBGEs for cooking on

Inside we were treated to some local music

Once inside we found a lot of meeting, greeting, and eating already underway

There was some cooking going on outside but I only got this pic of some (guess I was too busy meeting, greeting, and eating). I did cook a fatty and ran into Dyal_SC outside while he was cooking up some sausage but didn't think to get pics of either of our cooks. #-o

Weather sure cleared up nicely and it sure looked like a nice lake

If only the nice weather stuck around for the fest on Sat. That'll be another post.

    It was great to meet you & your wife @Dyal_SC! No problem on the food delivery. We've been on the receiving end of that while cooking at an Eggfest before and know how busy it can get. Besides, it gave us a chance to walk off some calories in a feeble attempt to offset the intake of all of the great food.

    @fasteddiem‌ - It was a pleasure to meet you and Kentucky Wildcat Fan (I have no good excuse for mis-identifying him #-o ) Glad to hear Michael had his priorities right by getting beer. Lol. Yes, the fest is a long ways from home but it was a great reason to vacation in GA.
