ALBANY, GA --

Sunday was the third and final day for the first ever Georgia Throwdown.

The three day music festival kicked off Friday night, and featured acts like Big and Rich, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and various local artists. All the festival goers we spoke to said they had a great time, and were hoping it returns for a second year.

“Well the entertainment is just great, the facility is nice; we just had a great weekend, great weekend”, said Jack Davis from Albany Ga.

Davis added that if it does come back next year, his plans on bringing more friends with him. Besides music, vendors were also on hand selling food, clothing, and crafts.
