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.
In 2001, Drew Scott of Wild Country 96.5 "borrowed" the games to set up a fundraising event for the Franklin County NY Make-A-Wish Foundation. Each year, these games have increased in size of the event, crowds and monies raised for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
In 2010, marking the 9th year of the Annual Redneck Games in Malone, NY, the entertainment is Cledus T. Judd.
