Georgia On My Mind Day Coming Up

The Georgia Visitor Information Center in Lavonia will host Georgia On My Mind Day on Friday, May 26 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Manager of the Visitor Center Jeanne Boteler said that this event shows off the best of Georgia.

“We invite partners, which are people like Stephens County, Rabun County, destinations, attractions, properties,” said Boteler. “They’ll set up tables and give away goodies and coupons to their places and it gives them a chance to meet our travelers and our local residents too.”

There are currently 37 vendors signed up for the event. Included in those vendors are state parks, hotels, a band from Georgia Mountain Fair in Hiawassee and other tourist places.

Another feature at the event is an interactive display with the cast of the new movie, “Guardians of the Galaxy II.” This is to help celebrate the year of Georgia film since the state is ranked third in the nation for film production.

Georgia On My Mind Day is open to the public. The visitor’s center is located at 938 County Road in Lavonia, Georgia.
