hogs for the cause
This weekend the Hogs for the Cause was held in City Pork, a benefit for families that have been impacted by pediatric brain cancer. It was an incredible event, with great music and great pork. The mud made the event complete! If you want to see some more pictures and read more commentary, browse through the #hogsforthecause hashtag.
I got there early and upon entering, the Pig Sexy booth was ready to go, serving up steamed pork buns, which were delicious!!!
The 555 Sauciers were ready with the best chocolate covered bacon!
Mr. Pigglesworth’s booth had a hawker in pink pig costume, one of many booths with team members in costume!
Pork was the star of the day, but I managed to find the LA 23 BBQ team selling brisket!
Kevin Bacon’s Balls representing!
And of course the all femmes team, Sweet Swine O’ Mine were representing as well!
There were lots of teams from all over the south, and the Fox Bros. BBQ team from Atlanta had a whole hog come out the smoker right in the middle of the festivities – great timing!
RIght down the path, last years winners Stand Up and Snout were serving up the best smoked boudin ever!
and across the path, Notorious P.I.G. was out in force
Plus, the Hogs for the Cause had its own version of the St. Joseph’s Altar by Fat Buddies
The music was wonderful, gave the crowds a way to start working off all that good pork
and the North Mississippi Allstars both on the NOLA Brewing stage were just a sampling of all the good music
There were reminders so folks in attendance would remember the reason behind the festival – very nice to see children dancing in the Boss Hog VIP section in front of the stage.
And of course, HUGE PROPS to all the BBQ teams, for braving the weather and the mud to feed the masses
Congratulations to all the competition winners! Until next year…
