Reporter KEMPTON - The 14th annual Pork Day celebration sponsored by the Eastern Pork Producers Association got under way at 5 p.m. at the Kempton Community Center on Aug. 8, with over 3000 pork chops on hand to feed an estimated crowd of 1000 persons. Although the attendance figure at the Association’s major promotional event of the year was slightly depressed by the rains which continued throughout Saturday, by 7 p.m. the pork growers had served up close to 2600 chops to an approximate 900 diners. The “all you can eat” meal was only one feature of the gala event which also in cluded a sauerkraut-stuffed pig roast, dance music provided by “The Top Hats,” and a diaper-the-pig event staged by Association members. The public was invited to participate in several competitions including a ham raffle and guess-tbe piglets-weigbt contest, but the major contest event was the barbecue pork com petition won by Donald Singer of West Reading. Singer’s preparation of bis “Savory Pork Pinwheels” earned him the title of 1976 Barbecue King and a gas grill donated by the Agway Corporation.
