Redneck Games

Redneck Games

:"Redneck Games" is also the name of a duet song by country music singer Alan Jackson and comedian Jeff Foxworthy." The Redneck Games are held in East Dublin, Georgia annually. The games were started by General Manager for WQZY-FM "Y96"; Mac Davis in response to a comment made by the media; that when the 1996 Olympic Games went to Atlanta, it would be held by a group of rednecks.

Taking offense to this, Mac Davis and some locals set up the annual Redneck Games to reinforce the stereotype the media held.

Events

Some events that are held during the Redneck Games include:

*"The cigarette flip"
*"Bobbing for pig's trotters"

*"Toilet seat throwing"
*"Mud pit belly flop"
*"Big-hair contest"
*"Wet T-shirt contest"
*"Armpit serenade"
*"Bug zapping by spitball"

For each of the events, a trophy is awarded; a half crushed, empty mounted beer can.
