Rick Ross Defies Officials and Proceeds with Annual Car Show Despite Permit Denial

Rick Ross' request to hold his second car show in Georgia has been denied by the Fayette County Department of Planning and Zoning due to non-compliance with the county zoning ordinance and safety concerns. The permit he obtained in 2022 characterized the event as a "horse show/rodeo/carnival and/or community fair," but the office has determined that the event scheduled this year does not fit that categorization. Despite the denial, Ross said the show is still on and plans to host other events in the coming months.
