Hi Peachy People! As some of you know we have been trying to visit
different towns and take photos of people in Peach State Pride gear. Our
most recent trip was to Athens, GA. Looking at photos of Peach State
Pride products is probably one of your favorite hobbies, but now you can look at pictures and learn about the people in them!
One of these people has never drank a coke, one was on America's Got Talent, one can't ride a bike, one loves to swing dance, one danced on the Regis and Kelly show, one is nicknamed Sassy and one is a movie star. This is definitely worth a read...
