Georgia lawmakers, lobbyists and voters rejoice: the big pig roast is back on.
The Wild Hog Supper, traditional kick off to the state’s legislative session, will return to Atlanta on Feb. 27.
The dinner, now in its 55th year, was supposed to have been held on Jan. 8, but was postponed when it appeared Atlanta was about to walloped by winter weather.
The popular event, held at the Georgia Railroad Depot across the street from the Capitol, is one of the biggest events of the political year. The governor and every major elected official typically attends as the Capitol crowd returns to the city for the new legislative year.
Tickets purchased for the original date will be honored and more are available via the Georgia Food Bank Association website, which sponsors and benefits from the event. Proceeds will benefit the food bank association's statewide Farm to Food Bank program.
Tickets will also be available at the door. A ticket plus at least one non-perishable food item is required for entry. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the event ends at 7:30 p.m.
