The 2010 Redneck Games in East Dublin

Things to Do

Photos: The Summer Redneck Games in East Dublin on Saturday, July 10, 2010. Silly competitive events include bobbing for pigs' feet and playing horseshoes with toilet seats, and all proceeds benefit local charities.

Preston Wright of Eastman lights up the Summer Redneck Games torch -- which consists of a six-pack of Budweiser cans -- for Marie Simpson of Augusta, on Saturday, July 10, 2010, in East Dublin. Every summer since the 1996 Olympic games in Atlanta, the one-day Summer Redneck Games had been kicked off by a ceremonial lighting of a grill.

Kalie Cortez, 10, glances back at another customer while her grandmother Donna Bell (far right) pays for freshly-pressed T-shirts from vendors Keith and Amy Egan. Vendors at the Summer Redneck Games sold food, non-alcoholic drinks and souvenirs to those who attended.

Singer Ronnie Mullis of Dexter performs "Imagine" on-stage at the Summer Redneck Games.

Lifted up by Preston Wright, Aubrey Matthews, 8 of Braselton, celebrates his second consecutive victory as first-place winner in the "armpit serenade" event. To win, Aubrey placed the palm of his hand under his armpit and sounded out "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" with the consequential noises.

Rhonda and Billy Wood, of Milledgeville, beckon to a youngster (not pictured) to join in on their sultry dance to the live music.

Emcee Frank "Freight Train" Mills reacts after biting into a frozen pig's foot used in the bobbing event.

Preston Wright leaps into the mud pit -- the final event in the Summer Redneck Games.

People wallow in the mud pit. Despite Preston Wright's and others' efforts to keep the flow of jumpers organized, many people leapt in whenever they had a clear shot.

Two girls dive into the mud pit. The event, like others in the games, is supposed to be a contest with considerations for biggest splash and most creative dive, but it eventually became a free-for-all.
