April 5 was a special evening at Truist Park for the 4th Annual Georgia Farm Bureau (GFB) Day at the Braves. Although the Atlanta Braves fell short against the Miami Marlins, the energy and spirit from GFB members and supporters made the night a success.

Before the game, GFB guests had the opportunity to participate in the pre-game parade, walking the field and waving to fans throughout the stadium. A highlight of the evening came when the GFB group was featured on the big screen, making it a moment to remember for many attendees.

Guests were encouraged to bring signs highlighting the connection between baseball and agriculture to show off their creativity while spreading ag awareness in a fun and engaging way.

Thank you to everyone who participated! Your creativity and enthusiasm continue to make this event a favorite for families and a great platform for promoting Georgia agriculture.

Our 2025 Braves Sign Contest winners, selected from signs posted on Facebook using #gfbdayatthebraves, were Amanda Miller Wooditch, Alisa Nepp, and Martin Rodgers. Each winner received a $100 Visa gift card in recognition of their creativity and effort.
