Georgia VFW made a significant statement and even-greater impact at the 2024 North Georgia State Fair, assisting over one hundred veterans and their families. In addition to providing essential support and resources, Georgia VFW’s newly revamped booth was recognized as the best in its category by the North Georgia State Fair board. The interactive booth shows our programs and initiatives and offers veterans, families, and community members a welcoming and informative experience. The booth’s design and approach earned praise for its inviting and approachable atmosphere. As we celebrate 125 years of the VFW, our efforts at the fair illustrated the strength and success we have for another 125 years.
Blending Technology with Tradition
Led by officers from the First District, Georgia VFW used modern technologies such as multimedia slideshows, QR codes, online applications, and even interactive gaming to connect with younger veterans and their families. Since its founding in 1899, the VFW has advocated tirelessly for veterans, and this innovative booth allowed the organization to tell its story in a fresh, engaging way. The booth made it easier for attendees to learn about veterans’ benefits and advocacy programs. For those on the go, whether heading to rides, shows, or food stalls, the booth’s tech features offered quick access to crucial information.
Top Honors for VFW Booth
As the 2024 North Georgia State Fair concluded, Georgia VFW received top honors for its booth, winning Best Booth in the Not-For-Profit & Public Agencies category. The recognition underscored the booth’s success in showcasing the vital work of the VFW to a broad audience.
This new booth, which we are now taking to the Georgia National Fair in Perry, Georgia, is a new tool to help us grow the VFW here in Georgia. Team Georgia, Working Better Together!
