Georgia Apple Festival . com

One of the best attractions to the Ellijay Apple Festival is the food. You can find all sorts of great food from fried oreos to Greek salads, not to mention an apple fixed about any way you can imagine.

It usually takes two more trips to enjoy all the food the Apple Festival has to offer. Big favorites are the fried turkey legs, roasted corn, Greek salads, and of course my favorite, the gyro. The steak/lamb gyro is very tasty and will leave you wanting another. Every October my taste buds start gearing up for the savory taste of the gyro and of course I must wash it down with ice cold home brewed root beer or cold apple cider.

The Greek salad is a close 2nd if you are looking for a meal. I hear the fried turkey legs are excellent too, I've just never been a fan of any part of a turkey except the breast meat. Of course a powdered sugar funnel cake is a must for dessert.

October and the Apple Festival is just around the corner and I am ready to devour some great food. Time to take some extra laps on the treadmill to make room in the clothes for extra food that will be consumed during the middle two weekends in Ellijay. The Apple Festival really is a must see event, not only is the food great, there is something there for everyone. I hope everyone has a pleasant experience as I always do and someone please save me a spot in the gyro line..........
