Team Hog Wresting
|
Admission
$6 Adults $4 Children; 10 and under if accompanied by adult free Never before has there been such a display of skill and strength, brain and brawn, mind and might. If you have yet to participate in our annual Hog Wrestling Tradition, then mark it on your calender and be prepared to let the good times roll. What exactly is hog wrestling? Hog wrestling is a competition where four person teams enter the mud pit/arena and try to catch a hog and lift it up onto a padded barrel. The porkers are clearly in their element, the competitors clearly are not. The whole thing ends up being a tremendous amount of fun. |
