Some Summary, Part 2 of 3, Pig Pickin' 3: Triple Figures


The very next weekend after returning from our whirlwind trip to Pennsylvania, was The Traveling Roths' 3rd Annual Pig Pickin'. (artwork courtesy of Jordan Saia)


As an added bonus this year, five additional "TravelingRoths" were attending their first Pig Pickin', plus four TravelingRoths "regulars" from Maryland, as well as four "TravelingPrizers" if there were such a thing, . . . all in addition to our other wonderful guests, some of whom were now three-year participants.

The weather was perfect, the pig turned out nicely, and the side dishes were awesome, as usual.

Special thanks go to Andy and Shelley for yet another year of critical help, and to Opa, Tom, and Jenni for braving the horrible DC traffic to attend.

And thanks to Alex, Kayely, Tristan, Ella, Krista, and Zoe for modeling the event t-shirts, and posing for the publicity shots.
