Hahira Honeybee Festival 8 October 2011



Hahira’s biggest event of the year, the Hahira Honeybee Festival,
filled up Main Street from the Middle School to Branch Street.
Last year reputedly drew 25,000 people; I’m no expert, but I’ll be surprised
if there weren’t at least as many this year.

Here are

and

videos in a playlist.

No local parade is complete without the

Georgia Bridgemen
Lowndes High School band
marching.

You can tell by all the City Council candidates that there’s
an election going on.


See if you can spot the mayor.
(I didn’t, until I was revewing the pictures.)
My favorite is this one of

Charles Henry Hobrat.

The bees buzz in Hahira again this year.


I went to the breakfast Monday at O-dark-thirty.

Saturday Oct. 9th – 8 am until 6pm Arts & Crafts and Food Concessions. All
day we will have events like The 5k Run, Century Bike Ride, Dog Show,
Cloggers and other entertainment. There will also be a Kid’s Zone with
lots of inflatables, a train ride, live pony rides, mountain climb
and carousel.

South Georgia. We have one of the largest high school bands in Georgia
from Lowndes High School, The Georgia Bridgmen, Floats Of All kinds,
Local Queens, City Officials, Our Senior Citizen, State Officials,
and Lots and lots of Shriners and much more.
