Whether you spell it with one g or two, the Hillsborough Hog(g) Day festival has come to an end after 31 years.

Maybe a volunteer organizing committee (not it!) will try and bring the festival back to life. Or maybe a professional in the event business will come up with a proposal to revive the event. Until then, thanks for the Hog Day memories. Honestly, some of my most enduring memories are of oppressive heat and mid-rate Elvis impersonations, yet I still had fun every time I attended and surely tens of thousands of others did too. R.I.P.
