Chairwoman Lisa Cupid of the Cobb County Board of Commissioners announced that the Major League Baseball All-Star Game will take place in Cobb County July 11 through July 15 and encouraged residents to follow the county's official social media channels for emergency updates, bus routes and other information to ensure public safety during the event.
Cupid said the county is expecting visitors "from all over" and invited residents to "be a part of this celebration." She told attendees to "follow us in our Cobb County social media pages for emergency updates, bus routes, and everything you need to know to have a safe and fun weekend." The short public announcement ended with Cupid saying, "See you at the gate."
