The pig wrestling teams were numerous and energetic. There were thirty six in
all, with twenty seven men’s teams and nine for the women. The squeal of pigs
could be heard as the teams tried to catch and place the pig on top of the
padded barrel located in the middle of the mud pit/arena. The team who
accomplished this feat in the fastest time in less than 60 seconds was the
winner. Safety rules for the pigs were followed by all wrestlers. It was obvious
that the porkers were definitely in their element and the competitors were not. |
