World Famous Racing Pigs Featured
HARRISBURG (Dauphin Co.) One of “America’s
top novelty attractions” Bob Hale’s Racing Pigs will be
performing 6 shows daily at the Keystone International
Livestock Exhibition September 30 through October 4.
These world famous athletes are drawing record crowds
from coast to coast. Training starts at four weeks and the
pigs practice on a permanent track where they’re taught
to race for a vanilla wafer. The trainer reports that it takes
food, repetition, and patience to train the pigs to race.
Contrary to what most might think, the pigs aren’t kept
hungry so they race faster or so they’ll even race at all.
They race for the vanilla wafer placed on the platform at
the finish line. Pigs, who just naturally want to eat, some
times come out of the starting gate and just stop, trot
around, spin around, play or buck; it just depends on
training and their mood.
Bob Hale’s Racing Pigs travel the country as pri
vileged characters. They travel in air-conditioned com
fort and have performed in such places as Walt Disney
• GLU-LAM ARCHES • ROOF TRUSSES
• GLU-LAM BEAMS • FLOOR TRUSSES
• GLU-LAM TREATED • TAG AND V-GROOVE
