Pig Gig

It’s not fair to put this place down too much. The talent levels they attract to this place are okay and the rib tents were better a few years back. I’m a pretty big rib fan, and I’ve had ribs better than most of the places that are at this festival.
however, it’s nice to get away on the river and cool back with a cold one and watch eddie money or something (i think he’s the entertainment for 2008).

I know that my profile says my first concert was SWV, but now that I think about it, it just may have been Jefferson Starship. I watched them perform on the water in Bay City during the Pig Gig, which is an amazing picnic of pork debauchery complete with competeing BBQ sauce.
I am big on barbeque. This is because my Uncle Willy would make the most amazing barbeque on his grill, and I forced my mom to figure out how he did it. I generally just love trying barbeque and then coming to the conclusion that my family makes the best. Some of the selections at the Gig are pretty good, but I just suggest finding something you like and sticking with it because massive amounts of pork eating is not only messy, but gross.
There is a jalapeño eating contest and farm animal rides. There is also the mandatory has-​been performer who plays out on the lake. I think I lucked out getting to watch Jefferson Starship. We built this city, baby!
