I promise I will shape up and do more blogs from now on; but right now, I want to copy (almost verbatim) some information from the Georgia Tourism Foundation and encourage you to go to their website to open a database file on your business.

More than 400 Georgia-based artisans, theaters, craft makers , agritourism venues, festival planners and others have already registered their businesses for free on www.gamadegagrown.org  The Creative Economies website was created to market and promote Georgia Made Georgia Grown Products connecting buyers and sellers, corporations and corporate suppliers, locals and visitors to Georgia's creative small businesses. Simply go to www.gamadegagrown.org and follow the instructions. Approved entries will be posted FREE for one year.

All businesses that register between November 21 and December 21, 2008 will be included in the first round of search results for this much-anticipated, first-of-its-kind and FREE website. Companies and individuals can register anytime; however registering between November 21 and December 21 will ensure inclusion when the site debuts.
