Friendly Frontier Days Kiss a Pig Event

Saturday, May 24, 2008

If you missed the chance to nominate the person(s) you would have liked to see jump during this year’s Festival of Lights Polar Bear Plunge or if the person you nominated was in the running but didn’t quite get enough votes, there is yet another opportunity to impose upon them something undesirable yet funny and enjoyable to those who get to watch.

The nominating and voting this time around is to select 3 people to catch and then kiss a pig at this year’s Friendly Frontier Days’ event. The pen where the pigs are kept is dirt and upon a good hosing down with water, as is the tradition, makes an already difficult task of catching a pig, just that much more difficult. To thank each pig kisser for being such a good sport, each will be given a ham as a prize.

Pink Kiss a Pig voting cans are being placed at several businesses around town along with the Post Office and dining hall at Ft. Greely. Nominating a person will cost you $5 and once nominated, votes thereafter are $1 a piece. A person must accept their nomination prior to be added to the running. Updates will be posted weekly.

For more information, please contact the Delta Chamber of Commerce at 893-5068 or deltacc@alaska.net.
