OK, so running a half-marathon isn't really your thing and the standard assortment of strongman events doesn't quite hit the target either. Perhaps you've just been holding out for Georgia's annual Redneck Games.
The Games began as a promotional event prior to the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, and have been held each year since. Although the main attraction is the 'mud hole flop', some of the other events might also grab your attention :
- Bobbing for Pigs' Feet
- Toilet Seat Horseshoes
- Watermelon Seed Spitting
- Armpit Fart Serenading
- Big Hair Contest
Entry is $5, and the competition is on July 8. What more can I say?
