Get ready to show your Bobcat pride!
Milledgeville Main Street, in partnership with Georgia College & State University, invites the community to Meet the Bobcats during October First Friday, 6-8 p.m., Oct. 2, in downtown Milledgeville.
Meet the Bobcats has become a favorite First Friday tradition, bringing Georgia College student-athletes, organizations, families, local residents and downtown businesses together for an evening filled with school spirit and community fun.
Georgia College student-athletes and groups will take over downtown with interactive activities, games and opportunities for fans of all ages to meet the Bobcats. Guests are encouraged to wear their blue and green, bring the family and help welcome Georgia College students and families to downtown Milledgeville.
This month’s First Friday will also include a Back the Blue component, providing an opportunity for the community to meet and interact with local law enforcement officers.
Representatives from area law enforcement agencies will join the evening’s activities as we recognize their service to Milledgeville and Baldwin County and strengthen connections between officers and the community they serve.
The event also coincides with Georgia College Family Weekend, making it a great opportunity for visiting families to experience the heart of Milledgeville. Before, during and after the festivities, attendees are encouraged to explore downtown shops, enjoy dinner at a local restaurant and discover all that downtown Milledgeville has to offer.
“Meet the Bobcats is such a fun way to bring our community and Georgia College together,” said Jennifer Stasney, director for Milledgeville Main Street. “We love seeing downtown filled with students, families, athletes and community members showing their Bobcat spirit and supporting our local businesses.”
Milledgeville Main Street extends a special thank you to First Friday presenting sponsor Hyundai of Milledgeville and partner sponsors: Copelan Family Dental, WMVG 104.5, Fickling Lake Country, GMC and Georgia College & State University, whose continued support helps make First Friday events possible and brings the community together in downtown Milledgeville.
