The event will run from 10:30 AM to 2:30 PM at the Loganville Town Green, drawing wing lovers, families, and foodies from all around Walton County and beyond.

This milestone year promises all the things locals have come to love: crispy, saucy chicken wings from a wide lineup of competitors, live contests, kid-friendly fun, and a vibrant vendor market showcasing everything from sweet treats to local services.

Event Highlights Include:

• Chicken Dance Contest at 12:00 noon — Bring your best moves and prepare to cluck your way to victory.

• Crowd Favorite Awards at 2:30 PM — Eventgoers get to sample wings from every contestant and vote for their top pick.

• Judging Passes are available for $20, giving every attendee access to taste wings from all competitors, and cast their votes.

• Kids' Zone Unlimited Rides for just $10 — making it easy for families to keep the little ones entertained while enjoying the festivities.

The event features a robust list of vendors and exhibitors, including small businesses, local organizations, crafters, and food vendors. Visitors can expect everything from gelato and gourmet popcorn to home services, handmade goods, and interactive experiences like axe throwing and a gaming lounge.

And of course, at the heart of it all are the wing competitors—a mix of returning favorites and exciting new challengers. Each will be bringing their own spin on the classic chicken wing, hoping to impress both the public and the judges. Prizes for the top three wing teams include $500 for 1st place, $250 for 2nd, and $100 for 3rd.

Organizers are encouraging guests to arrive early, as judging spots are limited, and wings tend to go fast. The Wing Fling is held annually as a celebration of local flavor, community spirit, and good-natured competition—and this 10th anniversary event is expected to be the biggest yet.

Local Senior Overcomes Cancer, Graduates with Honors from Walnut Grove High
By Ray Lane, Loganville Pulse Staff Writer

Loganville, GA – May 28, 2025 — When Walnut Grove High School senior Aubrey Barnett walked across the graduation stage this week, the crowd erupted into applause — not just for her academic success, but for the incredible journey she undertook to get there.

Diagnosed with lymphoma during her final year of high school, Aubrey’s world was turned upside down. While her peers were focused on prom plans and college applications, she was undergoing rounds of treatment and facing the uncertainty of a serious illness.

But rather than letting the diagnosis define her, Aubrey chose to fight — and to thrive.

Throughout her treatments, she maintained a flawless GPA, stayed involved in school clubs, and even broke athletic records. Teachers describe her as “unstoppable,” classmates say she’s “a light,” and her family beams with pride.

“I just wanted to keep going,” Aubrey shared in a heartfelt speech. “I knew if I kept showing up, one step at a time, I could finish strong.”

Her story has rippled through the Loganville community, sparking admiration and reminding many of the quiet strength that lives in everyday heroes.

“She’s a remarkable young woman,” said Principal Diane Holloway. “Aubrey’s determination and resilience are lessons we all can learn from.”

Now in remission and preparing to attend the University of Georgia in the fall, Aubrey plans to study pediatric oncology — hoping to one day support other young patients through their own battles.

Her journey is a powerful reminder that courage doesn’t always wear a cape — sometimes, it wears a cap and gown.

🚨 Major Drug Trafficking Operation Dismantled in Loganville
By Ray Lane, Loganville Pulse Staff Writer

LOGANVILLE, GA — Federal authorities have successfully dismantled a significant drug trafficking and money laundering operation based out of Loganville, Georgia. The investigation, which spanned multiple jurisdictions, culminated in the arrest and guilty plea of Adan Macedo-Rios, 52, a key figure in the illegal network.

Macedo-Rios pleaded guilty to charges including conspiracy to distribute controlled substances and money laundering. Authorities reported that the operation was run out of a ranch in Loganville, which served as a central hub for distributing large quantities of illegal drugs, including methamphetamine.

“This case is a reminder that drug trafficking operations can exist even in smaller communities,” said U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Buchanan. The bust was the result of a collaborative effort involving the DEA, Homeland Security, and local law enforcement agencies, showcasing the strength of joint investigative work.

Macedo-Rios is scheduled to be sentenced in August, and federal prosecutors expect significant prison time given the scope and severity of the operation. Officials hope this case sends a strong message to other criminal enterprises attempting to operate under the radar in suburban and rural areas.

Residents of Loganville have expressed both shock and relief at the news, praising law enforcement’s success in removing a major criminal element from their community.
