Eighth Annual Pig Roast - Survived


This year one of our guests was an expert at shredding the cooked pork.  He brought along his own tools too.  



Thankfully we had a tent as it did rain some.  Was beastly hot too so the shade was appreciated.


As you can see in this picture, the wind had blown the top off the small tent we had before the event even started.


After the event was over the wind really picked up so G drove his tractor and trailer on the grass and tied the tent to it.  It is always helpful to have an engineer around.



There were about 85 guests here which meant lots of great food.  We roast the pork and everyone brings a dish to share.  We end up with lots of leftovers and a few serving bowls and utensiles too.
Today we put the roast to bed,which meant a trip to the waste management with all the garbage, a trip to the airport at 5:00 am to get my sister back to Minnesota.  


 Can't forget the tradition of the haircut!  

The whole event went very smoothly but I am breathing a bit easier now that it is over.
