Some Pig

At this year's Crawford County Fair, David got the chance to be a 4-H Peewee and show a market swine. Jason's cousin Scott raised the pig, but Scott and his family let David do the showing to get him started in what they hope will be a long and decorated career of livestock exhibition. Thanks, Scott!

David did pretty well considering his lack of experience, and he had a really good time. In the Peewee competition, David and all the other kids got a trophy, a blue ribbon, and a coupon for a free ice cream cone. In the open class competition, David and piggy won a first place blue ribbon and a third place white ribbon. We were pretty surprised that they placed in that part of the competition, but the credit goes to Scott for raising a good pig, and also, of course, to Porky himself. He's some pig.

These three pictures show David grooming the pig, showing it in the ring, and admiring the trophy with Benjamin. As you can see, Rachel was hanging around, too.
