Thinking about going to the Ga mountain Egg Fest but....

Quit thinking about going and order your tickets for one of the premier eggfests anywhere.  You will be fine--this is a tree lined shaded fest area and I seem to recall there are some benches with places to sit down if you need to take a break.  It is not a big parking lot that can hot like Eggtoberfest.  Heck, if you can't find a seat come by our cooking area (look for orange balloons and tiger paws) and you can take a break in the covered cook shack area if need be.

I think it would be doable there, for a short visit.  Plenty of shade, not far to walk from the eggin' lane to parking lot if you need to change a diaper.  

Would be best to have a baby backpack thingy.  Make sure the little one is protected from the UV.

Pushing a stroller through a large crowd sucks for everyone involved.  

Personally, I would opt for the sitter. 

Just google georgia moutain eggfest 2015

Next year I am making ti as many of these events as I can.  So far this year we have something scheduled on any event that I could possibly get to.  Next year will be different - these look great

Caliprince logged his first eggfest at Salado when he was just shy of being 2 months old. 

He slept a bit, was carted around by his mom a bit, and cuddled by plenty of egghead grandmas who were happy to fawn all over him while momma got a bite to eat here and there. I was busy cooking, so I was off baby duties for a while that day.

 If it were just me and him,  I would have opted for a baby backpack kind of thing too, and made sure that I had a hat and some kind of shade for him.  And a baby bag that's easy to carry. 

So--final answer?--diapers or no diapers?

I'm going, I was checking in on chuck to see which way he decided.

We arrive Monday the 9th! just can't get enough of Hiawassee and the Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds, oh and we don't leave until the 19th just love it.......

If you get a chance, take a side trip or two to Clayton, or Helen, Georgia. You'll be very close!

So, your friend should buy a large at Ga Mtn Fest and take it home that day at a great price.  You just have to buy in advance if they have any left--instructions are on the fest site for buying demo eggs through the event sponsor.  If you actually have cooks tickets already (and those sold out back on Jan 1) and you aren't using them, then let John know immediately, he has a waiting list of like 20 cooks for this event.  If you want to help cook a little, come by and see me --I will probably need some help assembling/putting out Cuban sandwiches around  11 or so--my cooking crew always keeps wandering off to eat every year!.  We are easy to find--orange balloons, tiger paw apron

Sorry to highjack a thread.... but DANG IT!!!  I can never get any of her websites to pull up.  Any of them!  Always get the "webpage can not be found" screen...

I am sorry to hear this @wardster.  What browser do you use?  I will dig in to this issue immediately.

@NecessaryIndulg Not attending as a taster this go round  No worries Kristi we'll see ya there. 

Kristi, thanks for the offer, you were great help last year and then even took good pictures of my food--a 2 for 1 bargain.  Sounds like you will have your hands full this year.  Will see you and John at M&G Friday night.

SmokinTiger81:  You're too kind. It's only because people like you let me barge in and get behind the scenes. I love that!  
I will be out there taking photos (read: eating) and will definitely do a write-up!  See you in just over a week!
