Brobston first contacted City of Baxley Mayor Steve Rigdon and City of Hazlehurst Mayor Bayne Stone to see if the duo would agree to a little challenge. He offered that if one of the two towns were to have a higher percentage of census forms turned in by the evening of April 19, the mayor with the lowest percentage would have to buy the winning mayor, and his wife, a steak dinner at a restaurant of their choosing.  As of Monday, Mayor Stone requested to up the ante a little by making an additional proposal. Stone has requested the if he loses he will fly a Pirate flag at city hall in Hazlehurst for three days and if Baxley loses, Mayor Rigdon will have to fly a Yellow Jacket flag at Baxley City Hall for three days.
