HOLD YOUR HORSES BBQ WINS the GRAND CHAMPIONSHIP at the 28th Annual Fire Ant Festival!
Wow! What a weekend! Rain could not dampen the spirits of the Fire Amt Festival in Ashburn GA this weekend. A late surge in teams got the number of entrants up to 30 after being much more modest just a few days before. In addition to a GBA field of 30 Pro BBQ Teams, the Fire Ant Festival Committee hosted a Kids Hamburger Challenge, Pizza Cook-Off Association/Pizza Cook-off Community and a Brisket Ancillary with 19 Brisket entries! Huge thank you to out GBA Judges for a GREAT turn out to judge some amazing BBQ and Kid’s Burger Challenge.
The Fire Ant Festival is really a month-long series of events that engaged the citizens of Ashburn and Turner County in a variety of ways from February 22 through March 23rd. You can find out more about the 28th Annual Fire Ant Festival here https://fireantfestival.com/ and make plans to attend next year! The Dates are March 28-29, 2025!
