Pig Wrestling

This week we have been enjoying the Central States Fair which is held here in Rapid. For those of you reading from MN or WI, it's about the size of a large county fair. One of the telecommunication companies here sponsors my new favorite sport, pig wrestling. Th object is for a four person team to capture a greased pig from the within the mud pit and place it in the large container in the center of the pen. The faster the better with the fastest team overall taking $1,000 for their non-profit or charity. The fastest time we saw the other night was just over 7 seconds. Seriously, 7 seconds! We'll be at the finals tomorrow night. Lydia was scared to death when the crowd started yelling and the pig squealing but the boys wouldn't give up their ring side places for anything. And they were wearing the mud to prove it. I'm thinking that it'd be a great way to add $1,000 to our weekly offering. Anybody want to join me?
