HOG ROAST PICS

Here are just a few pictures of the Hog & Corn Roast. Rick and I were thrilled that both our parents came early to help shuck corn. Here they are hard at work.

Gay's husband, Mike, built this corn crib. They are a pair of very creative people, aren't they?

In addition to our parents, there were so many other people that came early to shuck corn. From what I've been told, we shucked around 800 ears of corn in less than an hour!!! That can only happen with great team-work. And speaking of team-work, there were over 100 people from our church who helped in some way with the hog roast. To these people, we thank you so much for all your hard work, time and resources, and especially for the love you've shown us through it all. You have brought great joy and excitement to our long, frustrating wait.

As mentioned in a previous post, there was a pig kissing booth at the hog roast. People were able to pay to have someone kiss little Petunia. If that person chose not to kiss the pig, they had to pay double the amount. Rick had already kissed the pig in church a few Sunday's ago, but Spencer and I had to do our part. And let me just say that Petunia was none too happy to be nominated as the pig!

It's so hard to believe that this amazing event has come and gone. There was so much work and preparation that went into pulling off something so big. We are so very grateful to everyone who played a part. Gay, I hope it was all you dreamed it would be! Thank you for your vision and all you did to bring it to fruition. I pray the people of our community experienced the true love of Jesus as they came out to be part of our big event.
