EffingHAM-JAM and Hometown Throwdown
July 18
We’re Going Whole Hog for our 10th Anniversary!
Join us as we celebrate BIG for the 10th anniversary of EffingHAM-JAM, presented by Koerner Distributor, Inc., on Friday, July 18! This isn’t just any BBQ festival—it’s a decade in the making, and we’re pulling out all the stops!
The Hometown Throwdown amateur BBQ competition fires up an evening of mouthwatering BBQ, live music, family fun, and more! Gather your team of backyard BBQ enthusiasts and compete for category trophies, Top Hogs, and the Grand Champion title—plus, the Grand Champion takes home a cash prize!
Live music, a kids’ foam party, and plenty of food and drinks make this the summer’s can’t-miss event.
But here’s the best part: ALL net proceeds from EffingHAM-JAM directly support the Chamber Foundation of Effingham County Scholarship Program, helping local students pursue their educational dreams!
