LOWNDES COUNTY —  Tickets are on sale for the 2025 Lowndes County Bird Supper, scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 5, at the historic Georgia Railroad Depot in Atlanta, beginning at 5 p.m. The traditional event, sponsored by the Lowndes County Board of Commissioners and the City of Valdosta, brings together hundreds of state officials, local businesses, and professional and government personnel for a dinner of quail and conversation.

“Professionals impacted by legislative decisions across various sectors — including business, education, development and construction, health care, industry, agriculture, and government — should take part in this event,” said Lowndes County Chairman Bill Slaughter. “Events like the Bird Supper are vital because they provide a platform for local leaders to engage with legislators and state officials. These interactions foster mutual understanding of needs and perspectives, enabling both sides to make more informed decisions.”
