Sept. 4th 2010 will be the 4th Annual MWC Pig Gig.
It will be held in the same location as last year, in Louisville, IL at ILLXJ's place, which is actually north of Louisville, IL a little bit. Look for exact directions to posted up here later.
For the Pig Gig first timers:
We get a pig, Jim and myself shoot it, butcher it and put it on a roteresee roaster provided by Prepmech. We start the pig early in the morning and eat when it's done. There is power if you need it for a crock pot or whatever. We do ask that everyone brings a side dish to share. Post up what you plan to bring so we don't end up with 17 crock pots of baked beans! We take up a collection to cover the cost of he pig. Anything collected over the cost of the pig is donated to the MWC Treasury. While the pig is cooking, we shoot guns and socialize. We have slinger-dinger targets set up at 100 yards to shoot at. We also have have short range pistol targets as well. If you got it, bring it and shoot it. We had all kinds of nice firearms last year. Just a little bit of everything. This is a non-wheeling, family friendly event. No XJ required.
Accommodations for those wishing to stay:
Primitive camping is available at the Pig Gig site. If you'd like a little more plush accommodations, there are options. Effingham, IL is about 20 miles north of the Pig Gig location. Effingham has several different hotels to choose from. You can use www.hotels.com or something similar to find a place. Flora, IL (15 miles south) has only one hotel that'd I'd recommend and that's the Best Western(Lorsin Inn). You should be able to find it online as well.
This event is open to anyone that has the guts to show up. Good times, good people and lots of flying brass.
Bring lawn chairs.
Hope to see you there!
