The city festival, Hogfest, is back!
The festival runs August 6th-8th, and is full of fun-filled events!
If I had to advise someone to pick one event to attend, I'd highly recommend the community dinner on Friday night. The menu includes pulled pork, corn-on-the-cob, pickles, potato chips, and lemonade. I'm not sure why but that would hit the spot right now!
Of course, it is hard to pick one event with this extensive itinerary.
