We have worked well togeth

to the fairgrounds.
“He has put together a
team that has made the
Georgia National Fair and
all the events held there into
one of the top attractions of
its kind in the nation.
“He has been an outstand
ing ambassador for the City
of Perry and his community
involvement and leadership
will be sorely missed.”
Froehlich himself said that
The man who loves fairs
Michael Froehlich came to Perry in 1992 from the
Ohio Exposition. He has loved fairs since his boyhood
when he grew up less than a mile from the Columbus,
Ohio facility, and is already excited about his new
opportunity at the York Fair, which is in Pennsylvania’s
Amish County.
A fan of pickles-on-a-stick, and the Super Himalaya
ride, he says he has always loved the excitement of the
crowds. Memories he will take with him also include
a visit from President George W. Bush, the dedication
of the tenant farmer and mule sculpture with former
President Jimmy Carter on the program, the filming of
the movie, “Something to Talk About,” and the arrival
of the Olympic torch at the fairgrounds.
He has also been very active in the community, serv
ing on the Perry-Houston County Airport Authority,
and on the foundation boards for the Museum of
Aviation and Rainbow House. He has been an active
Kiwanian. He and his wife, Brenda, are members of St.
Patrick Catholic Church.
He is also proud of having “coached some soccer.”
The Froehlich’s three children, Micha ‘el Froehlich,
Matthew Froehlich and Jennifer Froehlich Duckworth,
who have grown up here, will be staying in middle
Georgia, as well their grandchildren, McKenna and
Macy Duckworth.
one of his greatest sources
of pride is the staff develop
ment during his time in the
post.
He pointed out that sev
eral fair department heads
have become Certified Fair
Executives.
“The staff has been won
derful,” he said.
Under Froehlich’s lead
ership, the GNF has
received 69 awards from the
International Association
of Fairs and Associations,
year-round attendance has
increased from 512,714 to
over 800,000, with many
additional events added. The
