While the annual Harvest Festival, sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce, isn’t until Oct. 13, interest and enthusiasm for the event is building.
Already, nine very popular people have been nominated for the ‘Kiss the Pig’ contest.
For the paltry sum of $10 you may nominate someone. Voting buckets are on display at Gary and Leo’s IGA where you can vote for your favorite person to get up close and personal with a real live “oinker.”
It is a dollar a vote and bucket or porker stuffing, as the case may be, is really encouraged.
Here is the piglet line-up so far: Scott “French fries” Arvidson, Mark Leys, elementary school principals Craig Barringer and Greg Jensen, Mayor John Shevlin, ITB Manager Rob Cook, Sheriff’s Deputy Carl Suta, Barbi Killion, the CofC executive manager, and County Commissioner Cynthia Johnson.
Killion told the I-O on Friday, “We need a few more women nominated, only having two and seven men is discrimination.”
