Hog Jam History
The Hog Jam started in 2006. Store Owners (Marvin Bailey, Joe Faulkenberry, Joan Clyburn, and Linda Adams) from downtown Kershaw decided to hold a Barbeque Cookoff. The cookoff was designed as an effort to bring more business to the downtown shops in the center of town.
The Hog Jam success was a multi person effort. Now entering it's Third Year, the Hog Jam is poised to become a premier festival in the area, if not the state.
