1stAnnual White Oak Pastures BBQ
Memorial Weekend May 22 & 23, 2015
Fort Gaines 200 welcomes you to our first ever BBQ Challenge and thanks you for your support! Our goal is to make this an annual event and we need your input,

Here’s some things you’ll need to know:
Historic Fort Gaines, Georgia is located on the Bluff of the famous Chattahoochee River approximately 75 miles down River from Columbus. Two
miles North of town is Walter F. George Lake. The Lake occupies an impressive 85 miles of the Chattahoochee River, separating Alabama and
Georgia with 48,000 acres of fresh water perfect for boating, fishing, skiing and swimming. Also, with 640 miles of shoreline, 13 Corps of Engineers
day use parks and four adjoining campgrounds, the Lake is an ideal place for camping, outdoor and water-related activities. The Lake is famous
for it’s world record bass and it’s natural beauty. It’s truly one of the best kept secrets in Georgia! We want everyone to have a great time in Fort
Gaines, so please bring your family and friends (including your 4 legged ones) and spend the weekend with us and see why we love calling
Fort Gaines “home”!
We will be having all of the BBQ Challenge Cook Teams on the “Top Level” of Frontier Village which is located on the corner of Carroll St. West &
