Agribusiness Clay Shoot

Harvest Celebration

GAC’s Harvest Celebration provides an opportunity for leaders from every commodity group and service sector to gather in a festive salute to Georgia’s diverse agribusiness industry. The evening’s activities include a silent auction and a unique Field of Dreams reception that precede dinner, live auction and entertainment. All proceeds support the Council’s program of work, which includes legislative monitoring, agricultural education, economic services, agribusiness development, public outreach initiatives and coalition building within the agricultural community. This year's Harvest Celebration was held on November 17, 2023 at the Classic Center in Athens and it was another great success with The Kinchafoonee Cowboys performing! 

Harvest Celebration is key to the advocacy efforts of the Council, and we are very grateful for the support provided by our members and industry friends. We hope to have you as our guest for a first-class, engaging evening that you will want to share with friends, family and co-workers this coming year.
