• Over 60 acres of Gay, Georgia hit the market as family prepares to sell piece of historic small town (cbsnews.com) — A large 60-acre slice of downtown Gay, including 17 buildings and the historic Gay Cotton Fair grounds, is up for sale for $13.5 million, though it represents less than 20% of the town.
