Pig Races

I posted earlier this week on some of the great things for kids to do at the State Fair of Texas. This was the one thing the kids continued to talk about. Pig Racing. I'm really not kidding.

 Here's one of the larger pigs. She doesn't race any more.

 Here's an action shot of four pigs racing around the curve! Go, Go, Go!

This is a fairly quick race. They divide the audience into 4 groups and assign each a pig to cheer for. They let the pigs go around the track and the first one in gets an Oreo! I'm not sure of any other way to describe it.

Here's a video of one of the races. It's kind of one of those things you have to be see to appreciate. The crowd really gets into it and the kids thought it was the funniest thing we took them to see.
