State Beef Cook-Off

 

Each year, the Hawkinsville Civitan Club sponsors the Shoot the Bull Barbecue Championship.  People from all over Georgia and surrounding states flock to this small south Georgia town to enter their tasty barbecue concoctions in this famous cook-off.  The funds raised from the event benefit the Civitan International Research Center which is working toward a cure for Down’s Syndrome and other developmental disabilities.  The funds also help disabled children in the community attend Camp Civitan during the summer.
