Pig roast it's my favorite meal...Pig roast it's a heck of a deal....

Saturday we traveled to Clermont to the annual Pig on the Pond festival. It was a variety packed day and although we had planned on staying into the night so we could watch the fireworks display, by 6:00 we were all in agreement it made for too long a day.

The entertainment was continuous throughout the day. We watched such performers as the ones below who were gospel jazz singers......

Gold's gym had a demonstration where they had a guy bench press 600 lbs., a guy break a baseball bat over his knee and another who tore a telephone book in two. I don't plan to join the gym, but if I ever need body guards, I would certainly consider checking there for a candidate.

The gym also had these "spin off" contests. Now mind you, it was close to 90 degrees and these people were out to win!!


We collected a bag of free "goodies' from all the vendors. Blackberry was there but he wasn't offering any freebies....only information!

Emma would not have left the first booth. They were letting the kids do all kinds of crafts and displayed/sold many of the items the kids had previously made.

Never wanting to miss the opportunity to stick our heads into a photo op......


There were all kinds of competitors vying for the championship trophy for the BB-Q competition.This particular business had won many, many championships in the past so we decided to eat lunch here.

This was a particularly interesting booth. This woman takes dogs into the schools and teaches kids to read to them. It encourages kids to read and of course, the dogs love the attention. It is a more detailed program than I have time to explain but it is a wonderful concept.


Of course. they had pig races....these pigs even swam to get to their treats.....
All the meals were purchased with "Pig Bucks"....I am guessing as a way to keep track of the money coming in. The entire event is a fund raiser.

There was a great karate demonstration......


Here is a little 4 year old who showed us how to break a board with his foot...so cute!


This guy is a world champion....he was breaking stacks of bricks.

And breaking 2x2's across the body....

Lots of music...this was the Clermont middle school band...awesome!

And of course my favorite.....the little ones!!!!
All in all we had another great time,....and that's NO BULL!!!
