As excited as we are about the upcoming Apple Festival, it will never be the same without our dear friend and fellow craftsman, Algie Jones. We will miss him terribly, but we stand with Chris Lawson, also our dear friend, to carry on the tradition.
For many years, Algie and Algie's Vintage Birdhouses have been a familiar part of the Georgia Apple Festival - a booth and a friendly face that returning festival-goers have come to know season after season.
As we prepare for this year’s festival, we do so remembering Algie and the many years he spent sharing his craftsmanship with our community.
Though Algie will be deeply missed, Algie's Vintage Birdhouses will continue to be part of the Georgia Apple Festival, with his partner carrying on the tradition they built together.
We are grateful for every festival season Algie shared with us and extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and all who knew and loved him. His memory will remain a special part of our festival family.
