Headlines from the NASPIG race track
The season is very young but this year's racers seem very eager to get on the NASPIG circuit. Nine pigs are battling for the 2010 championship. The early buzz is that one pig reminds the experts of a young pig many years ago that went on to become the legendary "OLLIE". Ollie remains one of NASPIG's most famous racers.
Farm Heritage Day (October 2) is our effort to bring together the many new people who move into the area, The many people whose roots are deep in the area together with the generations that have never known our rural heritage. The result is a rare opportunity to learn from one another, to interact with knowledgeable, skilled, and experienced people. The kind of people we have been participated in past years truly makes this day special.
Look for horse drawn demonstrations Exhibits of basket making, indigo dyeing, weaving, spinning, paper making, old tools, artifacts from the 1800's, old tool exhibit, blacksmithing, needle work and more. The Horry County museum will be running a 1915 vertical hit and miss engine turning a 1920's grist mill. Antique tractors and engines, old farm equipment, special music is planned by one of the most favorite bands in the area. It is a a real display of talent from a musically rich part of the area. Special additions include pony rides, hay rides, pick your own pumpkins, hay maze, corn stalk tepe, lots of photo opportunities and one of the event's most popular attraction - Stockpig Racing! Keep posted for more added details.
Pumpkin Day October 16 is a day focused on farm fun from yesteryear. This year we focus on more pumpkin activites such as painting , pick your own. Pumpkin Day is the crown jewel of Naspig. It is usually the day that determines who will win the championship. With the point system all the races throughout the season count and add up to determine the eventual winner. We are looking forward to music, cloggers and some farm games for all ages. Our hope is that this day could be one of those rare days where families can all have fun together, doing the same things. There is something wonderful that happens when parents can share their youthful side with their own kids. It is great when fathers and mothers come along side their children to "show" them that they can "do" this game or participate like everyone else. It is a great opportunity to laugh, be yourself and count your many blessings. Keep posted for details.
Night time hay rides are an opportunity for small groups to have some special time together. Unlike most night time hay rides in the fall the focus is not on a wild scary time. It is in fact intended to be a quiet evening savoring the early evening or night. Tuning in to the wonderful reality that exist but is often ignored.
