Pig Wrestling

Some people explore other cultures by traveling overseas. Sometimes though, one need only meet new people or travel to a new state to experience a fuller view of life and culture. Here in Jackson Hole, I encountered a fascinating display of cultural expression at the local county fair: pig wrestling.
Here's the idea...

Flood a round corral to create tons of mud.

Slather a 250 pound pig with mud.

Release 4 determined individuals to catch, lift, and deposit the pig, rear first, into the barrel in less than 1 minute.


Chris, Seth, Drew and Jason did a terrific job of representing Turpin Meadows in the men's division. 

They then experienced the most painful shower of their lives.
