Barbequing is one of the great American pastimes that people from all over the world can enjoy. And few people take their BBQ more seriously than those in the southern states. Held each year in Vienna, Georgia, The Slosheye Trail Big Pig Jig is an event that caters to the BBQ fanatic in all of us, offering up some of the best cooked meat that you’ll be able to find anywhere.
The event started up in 1982 and has been going continuously for more than 30 years, each year getting bigger than the last. This contest to see who can make the tastiest meal has since become one of the biggest events in the state of Georgia, bringing in more than 10,000 people to watch and partake of the superior BBQ cooking. Originally, just 20 teams showed up to compete, but now more than 100 teams come each year and offer up hundreds of entries. Everyone is there with the intention of winning the $2500 prize and earning a chance to move on to the Memphis BBQ Network Championship.
