Kickoff at the Georgia National Fair

Cartersville High School FBLA attends the Georgia National Fair for the second year in a row. On October 9th, roughly fifty members headed down to Perry for Georgia FBLA’s Fall Rally. Located in Perry, Georgia, the Georgia National Fair is not your typical traveling fair.
