BIG PIG JIG was born when a group of local self-professed gourmets made wagers on who among them could cook the most succulent pig! That year, 1982, those creative people recommended combining a barbeque cooking competition with an established and well-attended arts and crafts fair and the county's livestock association annual hog show. The merging of events has grown into a festival named twice as one of the "Top 100 Events in America," twice acclaimed one of the "Top 20 Events in the Southeast," listed by "Travel Agent" magazine as one of America's Top 500 Festivals and touted by Tom Clynes, author of "WILD PLANET!" as one of the world's 1,001 most extraordinary events.*
