Former Mayor Bob Young is this year’s honoree at the annual Mayors Masters Reception; twenty years after he created the original committee to bring this community-centered event to the residents of Augusta and golf patrons from across the world.

“It is an honor to be able to recognize and celebrate the person who had the vision to create an event for our community that would serve as the kickoff for the Masters tournament.  The Mayors Masters Reception is an event for everyone to enjoy the golf week in Augusta,” said Mayor Hardie Davis.  This year’s musical entertainment, Oh No Stereo, prides itself on being able to command a crowd and engage them with foot stomping, hand clapping, body moving music for all ages.  There will be other entertainers appearing, such as Damion Hall of the R&B group Guy, and surprise national guests from the music industry and sports joining the festivities.

The 2019 Mayors Masters Reception will be held at the Augusta Common on Monday, April 8^th from 5:00 pm. – 9:00 pm. The event will feature free cuisine samplings from Augusta-area restaurants until 7:00 pm.  Food will be available for purchase from restaurant vendors after 7:00 pm.

Held the Monday of Masters Week, the reception has allowed the public to mingle with golfing greats while enjoying live music and menu samplings from some of Augusta’s favorite restaurants.
