Annual Pig Roast:

My father-in-law and his friends(Buck Love, Bud Love, David, Glenn, Emit Bullock, Jeff Hooker. Lester Workman, Loyd Workman, Doyle Workman and I'm sure there is more I can't think of right now) originally started the pig roast back in the seventies at Spring Creek.  In 2006, Buck was in failing health and decided not to do it anymore.  Andy (my father-in-law) asked Dwayne what he thought about having it at the lake at Vichy behind his house.  Unfortunately, Andy died in January 2007.  Dwayne, Chad and Todd decided to have the pig roast like Grandpa would have wanted.  We've been doing it ever since.
This is our ninth year.

Each year, it's a right of passage on who gets to shoot the hog.  It is a big deal to get chosen.  There is even a waiting list.

Cutting up the hog.

We have a fish fry Saturday evening.  Kenny Allen fries the fish.  I always feel sorry for him as he has to stand there forever to fry the fish.  He does an excellent job.  Sunday is when we eat the hog.  Both meals. people bring covered dishes.  So brings back memories of years ago at the creek.  The only one left is Loyd Workman and he came this year.  Good to see him.

The kids play on swings, in the mud, with bubbles, tag and old fashioned fun.  Everyone has a good time.

I am thankful Dwayne, Chad and Todd have carried on with the tradition.  I know Grandpa Andy would be proud.
