There is actually a Lodge Factory in South Pittsburg, TN. The last full weekend in April, South Pittsburg has a Cornbread Festival. It is quite an event complete with a cornbread cook-off, rides, craft booths, and vendors of various kinds. We went last year and enjoyed it. You can go on a tour of the factory and they have a factory store as well. You can get some good bargains in the seconds part of the store! There may be a Lodge factory in Georgia as well, but I know there is one in Tennessee, near Chattanooga.
Here is a link to the National Cornbread festival:
