Georgia Challenger Jamboree - 2011
Peachtree City hosted the first annual Georgia State Challenger Jamboree at the Baseball & Soccer Complex in Peachtree City on May 14.  

 

Teams from Milford Little League, Rabun County Little League, District 7 Little League and Peachtree City Little League played games and enjoed a day of camaraderie.  

 

Fans were entertained by the webcasting wit of the Jeff & Jeff Show - who introduced several guest commentators during the games.   
 
Ray and Louise Nelson, founders and organizers of Guitars Not Guns a non-profit organization that gives guitars and lessons to needy children, also attended the event.  Mr. Nelson brought a variety of guitars and helped various players with a little guitar picking between their games.
 
The Guitarbike was on display for the day.   The Guitarbike was built by Mr. Nelson in 1982 and ridden from San Francisco to New York and back as a promotion for his organization.   The bike was featured in Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum and was part of the 1982 County Music Award Ceremonies.  Players had the opportunity to sit on top of the Guitarbike and have their photos taken.  

 

The Challenger Division of Little League Baseball offers boys and girls with physical and developmental disabillities the opportunity to participate in an organized game of baseball.  The most fundamental goal of the Challenger Division is to give everyone a chance to play.
