Hog Roast huge success!!!

The Midwest Annual Hog Roast held on Sunday was a huge success! Nearly 400 people attended and all enjoyed the meal of roast pork, baked beans, fresh fruit, rolls, chips and cookies. Corporate sponsorships payed the total cost of the event so all ticket money will go to Heifer projects. We are still counting the money so the final total is not yet determined. Pictured above is Esther Criag (on the right) and her friends who each year bring their homemade pickles, jams, jellies and crafts to the event with all proceeds going to Heifer. Our Corporate sponsorhsip banner (above right) lists sponsors who each donated $250 (or it's equivalent in services) to support the event. Midwest volunteers helped set up, serve, and clean up.
