Editor’s Note:  The following recommendation and photos of the Gwinnett County Fair are offered by our roving photographer, Frank Sharp of Lawrenceville.

By Frank Sharp, Lawrenceville  |  The Gwinnett County Fair is one of the largest county fairs in the nation. I went twice, once at midday and then at night. Travel Tip: Go Grayson Highway to Davis Road and take that to the back gate so as to miss the gridlock on Sugarloaf Parkway.  If you are on a budget and like down home cooking, the Old Time Restaurant is a good place to eat.  For instance, a bowl of veggie is only $3.  These photos were shot with a Canon Powershot S-100 and Lumix FZ-1000.  The livestock barn was closed but they had a full train set running in the exhibition hall.  This was so much fun that I plan to go again tomorrow. Could life be better, except for the hot temperatures!
