The Pig Race

Marathon, Fl
No LL

Part of our entertainment last weekend was at the pig races. The races were held at the Stuffed Pig restaurant right across the street from the dinghy dock. The restaurant was celebrating it's 25 anniversary.

The pig races were great fun for the very young and the very old. Libby and I loved it,s and so did the numerous kids. For adults they had betting on the races with proceeds going to charity.

Roasarie's Royal Racers puts on the pig race show and they do a good job.

How does one motivate pigs to race? Not by chasing them. Not by whips. Not by a mechanical rabbit. One puts chocolate cream-filled cookies on the ground just past the finish line. The first pig there gets to eat them.

It was great fun.
