The Redneck Olympics were a charity event to benefit The Bubba The Love Sponge Foundation. A portion of food sales during the event supports the charity and registration for the olympics was $10.
Some of the Redneck Olympics festivities included chainsaw art, trike racing, and watermelon seed spitting. Many spectators came out just for a taste of the gritty action and a cold drink.

The rain might have put a temporary damper on the events in store but it couldn't stop Quaker Steak from carrying on with the 2011 Redneck Olymipics. The rednecks carried on for their cause.
Raffles tickets were on hand to purchase and prizes were given out throughout the day including the grand prize of a "pick me up truck."
