Ahead of Friday's high school football game between the Gainesville Red Elephants and Marietta Blue Devils the mayors of both cities have placed a “fowl wager.”
Gainesville Mayor Sam Couvillon and Marietta Mayor Steve ‘Thunder’ Tumlin have bet a chicken dinner on the outcome of the season-opening game at Northcutt Stadium in Marietta.
If the Red Elephants win, Tumlin will treat Couvillon to a chicken dinner under the 50-foot-plus-tall Big Chicken. Couvillon will also receive a Big Chicken pin.
Should Marietta win, Couvillon will buy Tumlin fresh, local chicken.
The matchup between Gainesville and Marietta will begin at 7:30 p.m. and broadcast live on 94.5 FM The Lake.
