IT’S A LONG WAY to the finish
line for Donald Bollinger as he hangs on
desperately to his 50-pound prize pig.
The rest of the boys tag along closely
THE WINNER Pig chase chair
man Forney Longenecker raises the
hand of Donald Bollinger of Denver R 2
signifying victory for the youngster.
Bollinger became the second one m his
was to get sole possession of
the pig, released at the op
posite end of the field by Dis
trict associate director Forney
Longenecker, and carry the
gilt back to the truck from
which she came.
The plucky pig really took
the game seriously, shaking off
captor after captor. She was
fir ally downed by Donald Bol
linger and carried off to the
goal line. Had Bollinger lost
possession of the gilt, he would
have been out of the competi
tion and it would have been a
brand new ballgame. But ho
didn’t.
The 11-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. Paul Bollinger of
Denver R 2, Donald didn’t come
near matching his brother Eu
gene’s record time at the 1965
field day when the latter won
the pig in approximately one
and a half minutes.
As in previous years, the
prize gilt was donated by Eby’s
Feed Mill, Lititz.
