ALBANY, GA -- The Exchange Club Fairgrounds held its annual "Fall Fair" this past week, and despite multiple distractions, they still saw consistent numbers at the ticket booths.

With the Presidential election taking place on opening night, Exchange Club President Larry Griffin, says he wasn't worried.

"This year did start off slow, but we did pick up as the week went along. We've done real well, Friday was great and so was Saturday," said Griffin.

Griffin says with the fair ending, the Exchange Club will take a break and enjoy the holiday's before reopening the grounds at the beginning of the year.
