Each month, ScrapStreet travels to a new street, taking inspiration from that particular location. We learn a bit about our stop and try to infuse that knowledge and attitude in our creations. The monthly challenges encourage us to shake up our scrapping, trying new techniques, themes, and altered items as well as cards and color combinations. Travel along with us as we spend July enjoying:
The Redneck Games
East Dublin, Georgia
The Redneck Games are an outrageous, politically incorrect spoof the real 1996 Olympics held in Atlanta. Country radio station WQZY started the games as a promotional stunt but today more than 10,000 people will show up to enjoy the events. The games themselves are down-and-dirty events like bobbing for pig's feet, seed spitting, dumpster diving, hubcap hurling, bug zapping by spitball, an armpit serenade and a big-hair contest. The defining moment, though, is the mud pit belly flop, mostly entered by those with beer bellies and peek-a-boo butt cracks. The trophy is a crushed and mounted Bud Light can, unfortunately empty. Food is a must with fried alligator on a stick as a favorite festival treat.
