Froehlich gives overview of
next year's fair at Rotary
By ANISSA CLEMONS
Staff Writer
Agricenter Executive Director
Michael Froelich gave an overview
of his expectations of the next
Georgia National Fair and
announced some changes for next
year’s fair in a speech to local
Rotarians Monday.
Froelich said the fair will ex
tend through Sunday next year and
become a 10-day fair. The theme for
next year’s fair is, “Georgia, This Is
Your Fair.”
He said the fair should have six
components, the first being agricul
ture.
“Agriculture is the state’s
largest industry.” He said livestock
entries were up this year over last
year.
The second component the fair
director stressed is youth and educa
tion. Over 1,000 Georgia youths
participated in this year’s fair. He
said there were 720 entries versus
335 last year, and 10,537 students
have visited the grounds this year
during field trips.
The third component Froelich
said a fair should have is a
“commitment to youth and educa
tion.” He said this year’s fair had
5,517 competitive entries and ex
hibits in arts and crafts.
Entertainment is the fourth
component Froelich discussed. He
said the fair will continue to have
the racing pigs, doggers, milking
parlors and overall quality family
entertainment.
As the fifth component, he said
a top fair should have quality ex
hibits and concessions. He said, “A
higher standard exists at our fair
than others. We want to continue a
high standard for exhibits and con
cessions.”
The final component, which is
quality entertainment, should be in
a clean and safe environment,
Froelich said.
“I would truly put the Georgia,
National Fair against any other in
the country,” he said.
There will be a rodeo and live
stock showat the Agricenter

Bob Mayo and his wife Lucy bring Southern cooking to
seafood lovers.
Perry native finds success cooking in Key West
By Susan Hawkens
Bob and Lucy Mayo blend the
heart of the deep south with the
spice of the Caribbean at Bobalu's
Southern Case.
The diner-style restaurant, located
on U.S. Highway 1 at mile marker
10, is housed in an old frame build
ing painted in vivid Caribbean col
ors.
Inside, old signs and advertise
ments clash happily with Jamaican
carvings and a Stuart Vaughn papier
machc fish head. With a counter
that scats 14, plus eight booths,
two 10-tops and a deuce, the place
can scat 60 diners.
The coffee is always strong, the
newspaper's on the counter, and
each set-up includes an awesome
selection of condiments.
Bob and Lucy will be celebrating
Bobalu's third anniversary April 14.
The colorful husband/wife chef
team combine the wisdom of the
south with the adventure of the
tropics in a cooking style they call
"southern Caribbean." It's done
without chic, but with a skill and
vitality that has earned Bobalu's a
loyal and enthusiastic clientele.
Customers here arc fed the way
they think their moms cooked
hearty portions on big white plates
accompanied with a daily choice of
up to 14 side dishes that includes
homemade macaroni and cheese,
corn bread dressing, baked beans,
pickled beets, blackcye peas, collard
greens, green beans, mashed pota
toes with gravy, stewed squash,
"gourmet potatoes" with sour
cream, chives and cheese-"sort of
twice baked potatoes without the
skins," explained Bob, and fried
green tomatoes.
Lately, Bob and Lucy have had a
big run on the fried green tomatoes,
inspired by the popular movie of
the same name.
"This has caused our produce man
' to raise an eyebrow over why in the
world we'd want all those green
tomatoes," said Lucy, laughing.
Coincidentally, the couple were
both bom in Georgia, and came to
1 the Keys straight from the very
same town depicted in the movie
* "Fried Green Tomatoes." The tiny,
old southern setting named
: Whistlestop in film, is really
[ Juliette, Ga. Bob and Lucy owned
three of the buildings featured in the
movie, "which has put Juliette on
the map-now," Bob and Lucy noted
ruefully. "But when we lived there
and ran an antique business, Juliette
was struggling and so were wc."
With five children to put through
college, they boarded up their
house, the store and the workshop
and headed south.
Arriving in Key West, they im
mediately created a big cooking stir,
first at the Full Moon Saloon and
then at "Sloppy Foods," a food
stand they created at Sloppy Joe's
Bar, which they owned and operated
for four years. There, they built a
well-deserved reputation for Lucy's
conch fritters.
Then, three years ago they pur
chased property on Big Coppitt and
opened Bobalu’s. Here, their unique
style and years of experience have
found full expression in the
kitchen. Bob and Lucy do all the
cooking themselves, and their repu
tation has spread easily and natu
rally through word of mouth. The
menu is large and varied with daily
specials and some heavy favorites
such as country-fried steak, fried
pork chops, shrimp and scallops
Bobalu, sauteed conch and Jamaican
jerk chicken. There arc also Lucy's
winning dcsscrts-pcach cobbler,
blueberry delight, cherry crisp,
chocolate chip sin pic, chess pic
and her famous Key lime pic.
The Key lime pic had always teen
popular. Then last year Lucy re
members the day when "folks
started coming in like crazy, and
they were ordering whole pics. I
didn't know what was going on.
Finally, Dennis Wally called me to
say wc were in the Miami Hcrald
wc'd won Second Best Key lime pic
in the Florida Keys and I never even
knew it!"
When "Gourmet Magazine" re
quested their recipe for Jamaican
jerk chicken, Bob and Lucy de
clined. "That may have been a mis
take," said Lucy, "but Bob won't
even give that recipe to the kids."
They arc happy, however, to share
three other recipes that arc favorites
from Bobalu's menu.
Fried Green Tomatoes
1. First, get them really grccn-no
tinge of red whatsoever.
2. Slice tomatoes thin, 1/8 to 1/4
inch thick. Lightly dust each slice
