CORDELE, GA (WALB) -

Cordele is also one of the many South Georgia towns getting an economic boost from the Sunbelt Ag Expo in Moultrie.

This Ramada Inn in Cordele is booked solid.

Some of the visitors are there for the expo.

Managers say Expo week is always a busy time for hotels throughout the region.

"With the expo taking up so many rooms from the state line through Tifton, it pushes all of the extra travelers our way, so it helps to fill us up which is really great," said GM Sharon King.

The Expo ends Thursday.
