Howdy, neighbors! Fred Talley here from Faith Pest Control. If you’ve lived in Jasper for more than five minutes, you know there’s one weekend where the rumble of engines is louder than the mountain wind. I’m talking about the Sheriff’s JeepFest, and it’s rolling back into town this September!
This event is near and dear to my heart because it’s about more than just mud and metal—it’s about our community coming together to “Crawl for the Kids.”
Rev Your Engines for a Great Cause
Mark your calendars for September 3rd through September 6th, 2026. The home base is right here at 8795 Hwy 53 East in Jasper.
If you haven’t been before, you’re in for a treat. Sheriff Donnie Craig and the Pickens Sheriff’s Office put on a show that draws folks from all over the country. Here’s what’s happening:
-
The Obstacle Course: Watching these Jeeps navigate the rocks and mud right at home base is a sight to behold.
-
Trail Rides: Hundreds of Jeeps heading out into our beautiful North Georgia mountains to tackle the terrain.
-
The “Caring for Children” Mission: Every bit of the proceeds goes to help kids in need through the Georgia Sheriffs’ Youth Homes, Special Olympics, and the Boys and Girls Club.
-
Spectators are FREE! You don’t need a Jeep to come out and enjoy the food vendors, the music, and the incredible atmosphere. It’s a family-friendly weekend that truly shows the spirit of Jasper.
Off-Roading is Fun—Until the Bugs Start Off-Roading in Your Attic
Now, while those Jeeps are busy tackling the mud, there’s another kind of “off-roading” happening closer to home. As we get into late summer and early fall, the pests in North Georgia start looking for a dry place to hunker down.
I’ve seen ants trail up a foundation faster than a Jeep on a flat stretch, and spiders set up shop in your garage like they’re the event organizers. And don’t even get me started on termites—those guys don’t need a trail map to find the wood in your home!
Listen… I want to be YOUR BUG MAN!
When you see a Jeep stuck in the mud, you call a winch. When you see a pest problem getting out of hand, you call me. I use pet-friendly, common-sense methods because I know your furry friends are part of the family—just like mine.
My Personal “Make You Happy” Guarantee
I’m a man of my word, and I stand behind my work. Here is my promise to you:
If you hire me to get rid of your pest problem and, at the end of 30 days, you are not 100% HAPPY, I will come back and retreat your home for FREE. If you’re still not happy, I’ll give you back every penny of your money, plus an additional $25.00 for your time and trouble. Period.
So, head on out to Hwy 53 this September, cheer on the drivers, and help us support the kids. It’s one of the things that makes Jasper the best place to live.
But if you come home and realize your house has become a “fest” for roaches or ants, don’t you wait.
Give us a call at 770-823-9202. Let’s keep the bugs out and the tails waggin’!
See you on the trails,
