We have participated in the Tallahassee Pig Roast since 1976. Unfortunately, most of the original crew has passed away. The couple weeks leading up to the pig roast is spent cleaning and getting everything ready. The weekend before the pig roast is spent trying to catch enough fish for the Saturday night annual fish fry. Everyone has such a good time.
Yesterday was my father-in-law's birthday. Miss him so much. We had to move the pig roast from the creek in 2007. Andy asked Dwayne what he thought about having the pig roast over at his lake. Dwayne and the boys thought it was a good idea. Sadly, Grandpa Andy didn't get to live long enough to see the First Elrod Lake Pig Roast, he passed away January 9th of 2007. But, we're keeping the tradition alive and passing down the ritual of fish frying, hog killing and scalding, the Elrod way of wrapping the hog for the pig roast and then on Sunday, the much anticipated eating of the roasted hog. So, so good!!
I am so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this amazing weekend of fun with good friends.
I had to look at the pictures twice to see that it was the lake behind the bar. Haven't been down there in a very long time.
ReplyDeleteThe boys have counted down the days and now are very excited for pig shooting day and to spend the weekend at the pig roast.
