Whether you want to spin in the air, or speed by on the blizzard, the rides are guaranteed to make you scream.

People say the fair brings back great memories.

"It's a happy environment family and exciting no matter what age you are," said Gloria Bottom, Fair Goer.

"I remember when I was a little kid and I loved it. And now I'm here today," said Marion Williams, Fair Goer.

If you come by the fair you definitely need to stop by and look at their brand new show. He's the Swamp Master. And he's wrestling an 8 foot long 200 pound alligator.

Jeff Quattrocchi has been wrestling alligators for years. He says coming to fairs is a great way to educate people about this wild animal.

"Instead of coming to Florida to see an alligator show, I've developed a public awareness program about alligators," said Jeff Quattrocchi, Swamp Master.

So whether it's rides, the games, or the shows, there's always something for everyone at the Georgia Carolina State Fair.

It costs five dollars per person. But if you're a student and you go from five to seven, it's free to get in. The fair will go on until November fourth.

What a shame!! Undisciplined teens with foul mouths, even my 8 year old commented about the language. Fights, gangs. Why? Why can't there be a place where people can come, enjoy themselves and not have to worry about their safety, and listen to the foul mouths of our youth today.
