The Braves had a full first week of the Caravan, including some unannounced stops and events with season ticket holders. First Evan Gattis, Anthony Varvaro, Alex Wood and Scott Fletcher stopped by an Atlanta middle school for an anti-bullying rally.

The Braves have seven more stops scheduled for the rest of the week, including one in Macon which I'm sadly going to miss. Have you been to one yet? Any great experiences?
