Jesse the Gainesville Chicken made the rounds this morning to visit some of our friends on the Downtown Gainesville square! We cannot thank Martha Zoller, Bill Maine with Mornings on Maine Street, and the whole team at Access WDUN for their support of everything we do as the City of Gainesville, Georgia Convention and Visitors Bureau (Explore Gainesville)!

I really love the limoncello cake, the chicken salad is delish and the brand of pork rinds you carry are so yummy!! So happy you’re on the square!

I had a chicken salad wrap and it was great!
