Hogfest is an annual barbeque celebrated in Englefeld, Saskatchewan. Whole pigs are roasted on spits for an entire day and then served for supper on Saturday night.
The event attracts a crowd of about eight hundred people. In a town populated by less than three hundred, that's quite an event!

My dad fixed pit roasted pig for the harvest crew and their families at the end of harvest. Always a good time and good eats.
ReplyDeleteA client of a company that I once worked for would slow roast wild boar for over ten hours. Delicious!
DeleteBeautiful field of yellow. Hogfest sounds good!
ReplyDelete1200 miles up to a part of the world I've never been before and 43 days until Hogfest 49!

DeleteThey roasts pigs underground in a pit for Hawaiian luaus. Very tasty. I can understand why Hogfest would be so popular. We have a similar event in Edmonton called, I believe, Pork Fest.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping that one of you will have the presence of mind to cover the great CFCW Chicken Races this year...? I must say, your glaring lack of coverage of this important Albertan event in the past has been most disappointing...
