SGSR Traffic Control Division hosts the First Responders Cook Off & Festival. We host the festival every first Saturday of May. The event takes place at Jeffords Park, Sylvester, GA. We started this event in 2023. To get the community together, and to show our support for our local hero's. We ask surrounding county's to join our event. We ask different Fire Fighters, EMTS, and Police departments to compete against each other in the cook off. All proceeds that are made from this event will be donated to different first responders charities. 

The First Responders Cook Off & Festival has different arts & crafts vendors, food vendors, bounces houses, petting zoo, and trucks for touch and show. There is live entertainment throughout the whole day. There are cooking teams competing against each other for the Overall 5ft trophy. There is The Best Cake Contest for kids, and adults. Anyone can enter to win a first place plaque. 

There is a kids corner for kids. There will be a lot bounces houses, face painting, and petting zoo. They can also take pictures with a wrecker, fire truck, and police car. There will be a lot of fun for the kids. 

We want to show our appreciation for our first responders. They are our true hero's. Thank you first responders for all you do.
