Some say that the games were rescheduled last minute which led to the lower attendance, others blamed the local high school graduations over the weekend, while still others lamented that it was because of the holiday weekend. While extremely entertaining, the games only drew a few hundred people on Saturday, May 26, 2012. This year, having never been, my expectations were extremely high and I headed down 75 with visions of pigs feet and rebel flags in my head. With events such as the Hubcap Hurl, Armpit Serenade, Bobbin’ for Pigs Feet and the Mud Pit Bellyflop, the Redneck Games had gained a popularity that has drawn thousands of contestants as well as spectators to the small south Georgia town over the past decade and a half.
The games were started in 1996, the same year that the Olympics came to Atlanta, as an alternative to the world famous festivities. For years I have wanted to head south to East Dublin, Georgia to witness the Summer Redneck Games.
