Pigs on Parade
One of our favorite aspects of Hog Day is our “Pigs on Parade” art project. You, too, can receive a life-sized pig statue to buy or rent and decorate. All of the pigs are displayed weeks before Hog Day for fun and to advertise the event.
The day of Hog Day all the pigs are displayed at the event and attendees get to vote on their favorite decorated pig.
You, too, can either buy or rent a life-sized hog or pot bellied pig to paint and display the month leading up to Hog Day! See our application for more details.
In keeping with our Hog Day tradition, lets see who can have the best dressed pig!!!!
