The time is upon us for our annual “Warm Springs-
"Spring Fling”. The date is Saturday and Sunday, April 17th and 18th The Event Committee have been working hard at planning
this event and we hope you’ll be able to participate. Our theme of
course, is the celebration of Spring and remembering FDR. We will
have arts and crafts exhibitors, antique dealers, children’s area,
delicious foods and snacks combined with some good ol’ fashion
entertainment. The exhibitors will be divided according to their
talent, please see application for details. Spaces are available on
a first come first serve basis. If you have a special request,
please note it on the application and we’ll do our best to comply.
Please return the enclosed application as soon as possible.
We are trying a little something different this
year, in hopes that visitors will enjoy a unique, as well as, entertaining
shopping experience with our exhibitors. We are encouraging the
HANDCRAFTED Exhibitors not only show off your wonderful handcrafted items,
but also your talent it takes to make them. If you have the ability
to demonstrate your talent by making some handcrafted pieces on site, such
as spinning pottery, molding clay pieces, wood carving, painting,
watercolor, etc we encourage you to do so. This makes for a unique
shopping experience, it draws attention to your booth, and you will also
save $15.00 on you application fee!!! The committee views your
talent as a form of entertainment that should be compensated.
This offer is extended to ONLY hand-crafted exhibitors.
We have several dance groups, a variety of singers
and bands playing throughout the day, our very own Magician, Jeff Hicks,
performing thru out the day, horse & wagon rides, a parade on Saturday
at 11:00, , the Warm Springs Kiddy train and moonwalk, and much more
still being planned.
Warm Springs, GA is located just an hour south of
Atlanta nestled among the rolling hills near the naturally heated waters
made famous by Franklin D. Roosevelt. Take a step back in time and
experience our Southern charm and hospitality. History's influence
is evident in the 100-year old restored buildings. Located on the
southern end of town is the Little White House, where President Franklin
Roosevelt spent the happiest times. We are proud to offer two
museums in our town that chronicle FDR's life in Georgia, detail the
history of our Victorian era town and let visitors fell the famous warm
springs. Warm Springs also has over 50 unique gift shops open year
round, not to mention the famous southern dishes served by our local
restaurants. Families are sure to have a fun filled day or even
weekend while visiting Warm Springs. The scenery is great, the gift
shops offer a variety of unique gifts, and the food is mouth
watering. We hope you will join us this year for another toe tapping
good time at the Warm Springs Spring Fling.
