Wes Holt never expected his uncle’s sunflowers to bring travelers from all over the world to his property. They were originally planted just to attract doves for the hunting season. His property shortly became a tourist attraction. Now, Rutledge, Georgia hosts an annual Sunflower Farm Festival. Here the neighboring people build art to be put in the flower fields. Its attendees are allowed to roam the fifteen acre farm at their leisure. According to Judy Garrison, the Holt family opens up their farm “for only 30 days (June 15-July 15) each year, when blooms are at their most statuesque height (Deep South Magazine, 2013).” I always enjoyed sunflowers as a child. Their tall and limp behavior astonishes me. I encourage everyone to try and attend this festival. It is an inexpensive, easy way to have a little fun.
