In 2005 Neo-Nazis held their annual Hammerfest outside of Temple, Georgia. [http://www.infoshop.org/inews/article.php?story=20050921212051318]

While this news story says that the Hammerfest was held outside of Temple, Georgia it was actually not. It was held in Draketown, which is close to Temple as well as Buchanan and Bremen Georgia. Racist haters are generally not welcomed in Temple Georgia.
