Pig wrestling back on BHC Fair schedule

At the Big Horn Fair Board meeting on March 3, the board learned that a contractor reached out about providing pigs for pig wrestling.
Last year pig wrestling was not a part of the fair entertainment. No contractor to run the wrestling and/or provide pigs could be found. Fair Manager Cash Duncan said the cost would be $4,500 for 45 pigs. The date would be August 1.
Board member Kelli Mercer asked Duncan if he had spoken to the county maintenance supervisor Jeremy Pouska because of an issue that arose at pig wrestling two years ago.  Duncan replied that he had already talked to Pouska.  “The reason he put a kibosh to it is because Macy didn’t get a hold of a vac truck, so they had to do it with all their equipment. He wasn’t told that he had to clean it up until that night. He has to stage his guys because they don’t get paid overtime either.”
