ALBANY, GA --
In our Facebook Story of the Day, you wanted to know what the crime was like at the Georgia Throwdown.

Organizers are happy to say there were no arrests or major incidents during the entire three day show and the biggest incident was a minor scuffle in the parking lot.

Bo Henry, one of organizer Sam Shugart's co-organizers, says everyone was on their best behavior and made it an enjoyable event for the area.

It's because of this, says Henry, that people will be so enthusiastic to come back next year and tell their friends about it as well.

Henry estimates around 15,000 people total showed up for the weekend festival but expects final numbers to be in later this week.
