The funnel cakes are ready, and the heifers are looking for their blue ribbons as the Georgia State Fair gets underway in Macon.
This is the 152nd year for the event. Organizers are hoping people will show up for the rides, food, and entertainment. They say some of the most popular events are the hog races, beauty pageants, and of course carnival rides. Jimmy Hartley is with the fair.
"We have magicians, We have petting zoos. We have all the things you would expect from a great state fair."
One of the most eagerly anticipated events at the fair is an attempt to break the Guinness World Kazoo Record. The fair was the birthplace of the kazoo in 1852, and organizers hope thousands will show up on Thursday to play their kazoos at the same time.
