Welcome to the official website of the Hickory Nut Gorge Olympiad  

We hope everyone is as excited about the 2008 festival as we are at the Olympiad headquarters.  Plans are underway and this year's Olympiad promises to be bigger and better than any before. 

For starters, many thanks to Carolina First for its generous contribution of $10,000 making them the first official "Presenting Sponsor" of 2008.  The financial institution's continued support and commitment to our organization is immeasurable.

Also, be sure to visit our events page to see some of the new additions including a cheerleading competition and Dragon Boat Races.

We are so grateful for all the support and enthusiasm the members of our community and beyond have shown the Olympiad.  Help us keep the momentum going and tell everyone you know to save the date for 2008!

Let the countdown begin!

Sincerely the 2008 Olympiad Board of Governors:

Chairman Bob Keith, Co-Chair Kay Dittmer,
Treasurer Woody Turner, Secretary Monica Geyer, Tommy Hartzog, Valerie Hoffman,
