About Washington County Fair
Washington County bills itself as the "Kaolin Capital of the World," where massive open-pit kaolin clay mines produce millions of tons of the distinctive white clay annually for paper coating, paint, plastics, and ceramics, making this east-central Georgia county one of the world's most important industrial mineral producers.
What to Expect
Livestock and agricultural shows, 4-H and FFA exhibits, carnival rides, community entertainment, and fair food celebrating Washington County's agricultural heritage alongside its unique industrial kaolin mining identity.
Visitor Tips
Sandersville is the Washington County seat on US-319 in east-central Georgia. The gleaming white kaolin mining landscape is unlike anywhere else in the South — the county fair reflects a community built on both farming and mining.
