March 14, 2022 | Baseball

ATHENS-----The second annual Foley Fest will be held Saturday, March 19 during the Southeastern Conference opening baseball series with Mississippi State.
 
The event is free and open to the public and will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the S13 parking lot adjacent to the Butts-Mehre Building and Rutherford Street next to Foley Field. Fans will be treated to live music featuring Todd Cowart and The Blank Canvas, interactive games and activities. Also, food vendors, including Chick-fil-A, Bruster's Ice Cream of Athens and Papa John's Pizza will be on-site.
 
The free activities include a CFP Trophy Photo Booth, face painting, a caricature artist, a balloon artist, an inflatable obstacle course and yard games. Hairy Dawg is slated to be in attendance too.

"Our first Foley Fest in 2019 was a tremendous success, and we planned to make it an annual event but due to COVID, we weren't able to have it the past couple of years," said Georgia's Ike Cousins head baseball coach Scott Stricklin. "We aim to make this a fun day for all the fans to enjoy as part of our first SEC weekend."
 
Starting Friday, the 18th-ranked Bulldogs (13-3) will be playing host to MSU (10-7) who became the latest SEC baseball program to win a national championship when they did it in 2021. Georgia was the first SEC team to win the College World Series (1990) and since then LSU has won six titles, South Carolina and Vanderbilt have two apiece plus one by Florida and MSU.
