Pig Totin' Contest

I wonder what the heck that is. My older DD is working in a booth this morning at a County Fair, and that is one of the events they are having today.

I don't know, but it sounds like a sport that would be on ESPN 5 at 2:30 in the morning...

You pick up a full grown pig and see how far you can carry it. Seriously!!

Well, now I know what it is. There was pigs weighing approximately 45 lbs. in a pen. The competing teams had 3 people on them. They picked up a pick and placed it in wheelbarrow, then ran a relay race. Once the pig was in the wheelbarrow, the team members couldn't touch it unless it jumped out, then they had to catch it and put it back in the wheelbarrow.

It's a bunch of fun!
