Hay bale art can be seen all over South Georgia, especially in the guise of jack-o-lanterns around Halloween. This one is located at Stripling’s Sausage & Meat on Lake Blackshear in Warwick.

We always stop by Stripling going to and from Mitchell County. Of course we buy sausages and everything else that we love! Haven’t made it to the Grits festival…yet.
Did you make it to the International Grits Festival? I see you found the “pink pig” at Striplings. I hope you took home some sausage!
I’ve yet to make it to the festival, Chip…but will try next year. I always take home sausage when I go to Striplings!
