4-H Pig Raffle
Me and my sister worked in the 4-H kitchen with some of our 4-H friends at the Cumberland Fair. When me and my friend were working in the kitchen our club leader asked if we could work in the pig raffle booth because nobody was there. We said yes and oh my it was very interesting.
There were some odd people who came up to us at that booth, like the guy and his grandson. Me and my friend said to him that we were selling pig raffle tickets. The pig is freezer ready. The pig is alive at the fair and then he goes to the butcher to be freezer ready. So this guy asked his grandson, "Do you want a pig?" And the kid was opened mouthed then said OK. So the guy bought a raffle tickets and asked if the pig would be marinated. I said no so he went over to the pig and started talking to the pig about how they should marinade her and why doesn't she come marinated. It was odd!
There was someone else who asked how much the raffle tickets cost and I said they were a $1.00 each. My friend said the pig came freezer ready and the person got like a little freaked out. Then the person and her family went over to the pig and stared talking to it and saying things like, "you poor thing I wish I could keep you so they would not eat you."
It was hard not to laugh. So if you ever want to sell Pig raffle tickets for 4-H, there might be some odd people who talk to you about it. Then there are the regular people and they are OK.
It was OK to work in the raffle booth but I don't think I would want to do it again though.
