Directions: 4 miles southeast of U.S. Hwy 319 on Highway 133 near Moultrie, GA

Directions from I-75 heading South - Tifton, Exit 62. Turn right onto Hwy 319 going south to Moultrie. Once you get into the Moultrie city limits, you will come to the first traffic light (Chevron station on left, Best Western-Expo Inn on left). Turn left at traffic light onto 319 South Bypass. Continue to the third traffic light (BP station across the street on left, Hardees on right) and turn left onto Hwy 133. Go approximately 4 miles and Sunbelt Expo (Spence Field) will be on the left.

Directions from I-75 heading North - I-75 North to Exit 18 in Valdosta. Turn left at the light and cross over the interstate. This road (Hwy 133) will carry you straight into Moultrie (approximately 35 miles). Once you are inside the city limits, the road becomes a four-lane and the entrance (Gate 1) will be on your immediate right.





Spence Field in Moultrie, GA is a former US Military flight training facility. It was used during WWII and during the Korean Conflict, closing in 1961. The area is now an industrial park and home to Maule Aircraft Manufacturers. It is also home to North America’s Premier Farm Exposition, The Sunbelt Ag Exp. The expo is held every year in October and over 1200 exhibitors showcase the latest in ag technology. There’s something for everyone including Livestock: Beef Cattle, Dairy, Equine, Goats, Alpacas, Automotive, Lawn & Garden, Small Farm Center, Forestry, Propane Gas, Hunting & Fishing, ATV, Antique Tractors & Equipment, Stock Dog Trials, and Family Living.

This expo is the inspiration for “Thank You, Farmer Brown”. After all, without the farmers, we would all starve to death!


Clue: From Hwy. 133 you will come to a sign that says, “Moultrie Regional Industrial Park, City of Moultrie/Spencefield Entrance 1” (Note: coming from Moultrie, you will see Entrance 2 before you see Entrance 1) Turn at Entrance 1 onto S. Vandenberg St. Go about 1 block and turn left onto Welch St. Soon you will see a park like area on your left with a double row of boxwood bushes at the entrance. Walk between the rows of boxwoods and you will see a utility pole with a yellow guy wire cover straight ahead. Just to the left of the utility pole is a large pine tree with azaleas planted around it. The letterbox is at the base of the tree.
