In the past, First Baptist Church, Lithia Springs Men's Ministry has had little trouble in pulling in big names like former Atlanta Braves first baseman Sid Bream to serve as special guest speaker for its annual wild game dinner.
This year, with Chick-Fil-A founder Truett Cathy, the September 18th dinner might have its biggest name yet.
Member and organizer [David] Cooper said Cathy is a perfect speaker for his lifestyle and the purpose of the group.
"I can't think of anyone else who represents his company and his Biblical principles as well as Mr. Cathy," he said. "As a businessman myself I cannot think of anyone else I would rather pattern my company or business practices after."
The event, Cooper said, usually draws 500 to 600 guests and expects a similar number or greater this year.
The festivities begin, Cooper, said with displays of different sportsmen and taxidermists in the area and the Douglas County Fire Department will offer free blood pressure screenings.
Musical entertainment, he said, will be provided by the Cross Ties Band who perform bluegrass, gospel and other forms of traditional American music.
After dinner, Cooper said, the guests will move into the sanctuary for Cathy's message.
The dinner itself, Cooper said, will offer a variety of different meats.
"Every year we try to shake things up and this year is no different," he said. "The menu will consist of wild hog, buffalo, elk, and turkey, baked potato, slaw, and tea. I just don't know where you can get all of this for $10."
Tickets can be purchased in advance by calling (770) 948-2126 or coming to by the church. Tickets are on sale Monday through Thursday and at the 9:15 and 10:30 a.m. Sunday services.
