The 2015 Atlanta Country Living Fair: A Ticket Giveaway

Hey, y'all!  Do you ever see advertisements for events in magazines or on TV and think that it would be the coolest thing ever if you were actually able to go to that event?  I have been a long-time reader of Country Living Magazine, and ever since they started hosting Country Living Fairs, I would dream of being able to go.  Last year, my dream came true, and I was able to go to the Country Living Fair in Atlanta, Georgia.  And this year?  This year I get to live my dream all over again!  And thanks to Stella Shows and Country Living Magazine, you have a chance to win tickets to the fair too so that you can enjoy everything the fair has to offer!

On October 23rd through the 25th, the fair is happening at Stone Mountain Park in Atlanta, GA.  Y'all, I'm not sure that there is a prettier place where the Fair could be held!  I met my bloggy bestie Kirsten of Sweet Tea & Saving Grace for the first time in real life last year when she hosted me for the weekend so that she and I could go to the Fair together.  She gave me a tour of Stone Mountain Park after the Fair, and it was just lovely.

 And once you get over the beautiful scenery where the Fair is held, you get to see all the fabulousness of the Fair itself.

 I'm pretty sure you could spend all three days at the Fair and still not see every little treasure in all the fabulously decorated booths!  The press release for the Fair describes it this way: "The Country Living Fair brings the magazine’s content to life and gives readers access to a unique shopping experience along the wooded paths of beautiful Stone Mountain Park. The Fair will feature 200+ vendors from more than 25 states, including antiques sellers, food purveyors, artists, furniture makers, crafters, and more. Guests will also have a chance to meet Country Living editors, attend cooking, crafting, and DIY demonstrations, sample locally-sourced, artisanal food, and shop the Harvest & Gourmet Market and the Country Living General Store."

I wish I could make it to the fair Friday because one of my favorite Food Network stars is going to be there!  That's right; “The Pioneer Woman” a.k.a. Ree Drummond will make a special appearance on at 2 p.m. on the Main Stage, and she's doing a book-signing of her newest cookbook. On Saturday, Brent Ridge and Josh Kilmer-Purcell, of Cooking Channel’s The Fabulous Beekman Boys will make a special appearance at Noon on the main stage for a Q & A with Country Living editor-in-chief Rachel Hardage Barrett.
