4th of July Greased Pig Contest
One of my fond memories of Fuzzy was at the Aurora's Old Fashioned 4th of July celebration in 1968. Mary, Art, and I went with all of you and your parents and my mom. Fuzzy and Art joined the Greased Pig Contest, and agreed to split the $5.00 if they won. They ran and dove at the pig, and were soaked in grease. Both proudly wore their greasy shirts all day. I can still see the smile on Fuzzy's face as he chased that pig. I remember Uncle Joe's advice as he called out to the boys. He told Art to run down the pig to tire it out, and then have Fuzzy jump on it and catch it.
Art & Fuzzy didn't catch the pig that day. A Ronnie Dudley of Brandon walked away with the cash prize. What memories were created that day!
