Memphis in May

Well, the applications are out and we are getting ready to gear up for the big show. Memphis in May, The super Bowl of Swine, The Big Dance....you get the picture. This is the time we work up to every year. It is a tremendous amount of work to put together but I love every minute of it.

We have a great group of guys and a great group of sponsors. It is mine and Dave's job to not only make sure we compete at a world class level but also to make sure that each and every one of our team members walk away from the event saying, "that is the best damn party I have ever been to"...... I am proud to say that in past years, we have had new members say that they expected a good time but this far exceeded their expectations. WOW......Those are the type of comments that make the hard work well worth while.

Our team has really come of age the last several years. Instead of having to tell people what they should be doing, now we have team members asking, "how can I contribute and what can I do to help". I think that is a result of letting everyone know that they have a steak in making the weekend a success and that each of them contribute to the good time in their own way. With 35+ members, not everyone can be involved in the cooking or wants to be. It takes members that can landscape, do dishes, set up tables, decorate, run a sound system, welcome guests and many other tasks to make a great team. Our members come from every walk of life but down in Memphis they are a unified group.....Peg Leg Porkers.... and I am grateful that they have chosen to be a part of our team....
