Mayor-Elect Garnett Johnson & Host Committee launch Food Truck Family Fridays in South Augusta on July 29.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

July 24, 2022 – Augusta  GA USA

 

Mayor-Elect Garnett Johnson & Host Committee launch Food Truck Family Fridays in South Augusta on July 29.

 Mayor-Elect Garnett Johnson & Host Committee are thrilled to announce Food Truck Family Fridays - a new community event launching on July 29 and continuing every month throughout the fall. The event features an array of food, beverage, & dessert trucks; live music and DJs, and activities for the whole family – a feel-good event to bring the community together.

 Food Truck Family Fridays will take the place of the weekly Friday Wind Down, which Johnson hosted at his South Augusta offices at 4102 Windsor Spring Road in Hephzibah, Georgia. Each week from April through June, Johnson’s campaign team welcomed the community to drop in, ask questions, meet and greet, or to just connect with each other and ‘wind down’ over a bite and a beverage.

 Friday Wind Down is not Johnson’s first community event in the area. His company, Augusta Office Solutions, hosted the 2022 Masters Week event, ParTee On The Green (ParTeeAugusta), in the same location. This was the first event of its kind in South Richmond County during Golf Week.

 "We are excited to resume our Friday Wind Down events. They gave us a great opportunity to unite and engage the community in food, fun, and fellowship,” said Mayor-Elect Johnson. “As this is the first event at our South Augusta HQ since the June 21st runoff, I want to personally invite everyone to come out and enjoy the festivities. And, please, stop by the office to learn more about our team's vision and plan for moving Augusta forward."

 All are invited to this free community event. Admission is free, and food truck & vendor items available for sale. Bring chairs, but leave pets and coolers. Register at foodtruckfridayaugusta@gmail.com.

On behalf of Pop-Up Augusta, Garden City Jazz, and The Red Currant Events, we are grateful for your presence at yesterday's Progressive Dinner. 

The team has presented White Dinner events (pop-up dinner parties in secret locations) since 2016 & incorporated Progressive Dinners (each course at a different location) annually since 2018. Each year presents a unique set of opportunities, and this was our first one al fresco, featuring some of our downtown public art. 

We are always seeking out new experiences to share and would love to hear feedback. Until next time, enjoy a few features from the 2021 Progressive White Dinner.
