Hog Wild at the Races.
We had some real excitement after a routine day at a country farm.
We’d walked around Great Country Farms, had lunch, and watched the grandkids in all sorts of fun play environments. My comment that it was probably time to go was met with alarm. My daughter said, “Oh no, we can’t leave now, it’s almost time for the pig races.”
So on a picture perfect, sunny, 60 degree day, we found ourselves seated on wooden benches waiting for the “sooey” hog call that would start the action.
This 400-acre farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia runs a very popular agri-tourism business.
It was a clever, hammed-up intro with all entrants named after superheros. And then . . .
Ready, Set, Oink!
The racers reward? Some of the Farm’s famous Apple Cider Donuts.
What fun ! 🤣
We watched pig races at the NC State Fair with the grands one year.

I can imagine what a super fun day it was for the adorable little ones. The pig snouts were so cute- and funny!
That comment was from Sheila Levine!!
which pig won?
Ha- wish we could tell! I’m sure it was the biggest ham!
