UPDATE, 7 p.m.:
Supporters were eager to see Stacey Abrams in person.
"Overwhelmingly excited" is how Stacy Jenkins described the event. "I'm so glad she has the support behind her across the nation, actually, across the world, and I'm so glad that we're able to be a part of this moment in history."
It's a moment Stacey Abrams wants to capitalize on.
"In four days, we get to go to the polls and we get to show America who we are and where we're headed next," said Abrams.
She said she aims to fully fund public education.
"I'm not running to be another education governor, we've had enough of those," she told a cheering crowd. "I will be the public education governor."
She also talked about her plan to boost small business.
"I know that if the governor of Georgia creates a $10 million small business financing fund we can invest $25,000, $50,000, $100,000 in the dreams of Georgians," sadi Abrams.
She also highlighted her goal to expand Medicaid and help ailing rural healthcare systems, before firing up the crowd one more time.
"We are Georgia," she yelled to a cheering crowd. "Now let's get it done."
On her way out, she told 13WMAZ how she feels about her Republican opponent backing out of Sunday's scheduled debate.
"Brian Kemp should have kept his promises and I will keep my promises and hold to my commitments," she said.

Democratic candidate for governor, Stacey Abrams, visited Macon on Friday morning to fire up supporters in the home stretch to Election Day.
With Friday being the last day of early voting and Election Day just four days away, the event at the Westgate Shopping Center was part of the Abrams campaign effort to make sure every supporter votes.
In her speech, she told supporters about her experience growing up and being told she didn’t belong in places of power in Georgia. She told supporters it’s time to change that and she also spoke about her plan to fix rural healthcare, saying that expanding Medicaid was a “Day One” priority.
US congressman John Lewis was at the rally with her and told 13WMAZ afterward what it meant to him to see Stacey Abrams with a chance to win the governor’s mansion after fighting for civil rights in the South his whole career.
13WMAZ also spoke to Abrams after her speech and asked her about her Republican opponent Brian Kemp backing out of a scheduled debate.
Reporter Zach Merchant will have more from Friday’s rally on 13WMAZ News at 5 and 6.
