nice ham fiona!

only to me, right! i am going to make a long story short...one of my very best friends pelham (aka ashley who lives in pelham, ga...we call her pelham) has showed hogs her whole life...when she came to the big city (lagrange) for college, this was a big topic of conversation that always included lots of laughter! anyway, fast forward 10 years since i first learned that this was an actual thing...pel's nephew's are now big into showing hogs. each year they get their pigs before the show. they decided (on their own!) to name their pigs...da da ta da...FIONA and MARY MADDOX! can you believe it! i have a hog named after me...and man doesn't she have a nice ham! work it girl!


here is mary maddox's ham...looks tasty huh?


here are the proud papa's with their pork chops! braswell and fiona on the left, drake and mary maddox on the right.


to top it all off...apparently the judges agree that fiona can bring home the bacon! braswell and fiona won her age group, class, overall grand york (this is the type of pig) AND grand champion! (check out the belt buckle that braswell won!) apparently drake got robbed...mary maddox was the one that should have won according to the experts...that fiona can be such a sow!

i love it! i hope that y'all do too...my apologies to amy-lee who will be horrified that on wednesday at mighty joes the westmoreland's will be eating pineapple and pig pizza...llllllssssspppp! poor fiona and mary maddox!

my only hope is that this post can increase the awareness that this is an actual event held all over the country! god bless america...and thank you pelham for another round of hog showing laughter! love you lots!
