So here is what happened!!! Alex's good friend called and said they needed her to complete their four man team. Of course she said sure. So on the night we didn't know any details. But there was a thing called a callcutta. We were clueless but quickly realized that each team was auctioned off to the highest bidder. 20% of the funds were to go to Breast Cancer Society. Alex quick came and told us don't bid on us. We agreed. Then it was their turn to be auctioned. The bidding started at $200.00. No one bid they went down to $100.00 then 75.00 then 50.00 then 40.00 then 30.00 then 25.00. Finally without us knowing Uncle Dad bid at the $25.00. I felt sorry for the girls so I bid next at 35.00. My brother dropped out and i won the bid. I thought great I'm gambling. Well the object of the thing is that you have 1 minute to catch a pig and stuff it bottom first into a barrel then raise you hands when you done. The evening was pretty funny. The age groups were little kids under 6, up to 10, then up to 18, then a woman's group and a men's group.
They get in a pen that is full of water and mud and probably hog poop and try and catch this pig.
Now you will have to wait until tomorrow for me to post the pictures. I bet you can hardly wait!!!
By the way they won. We then won $315.00 divided it up and give it to the girls because they are all going to University right now. So every little bit help. So I decided we were really gambling we were contributing to a University Fund Raiser!!!!!

Ian wants to come visit so he can go hog wrestling. I think he and Alex could make a good team :)
That is at fair time. The first week of August. He can have a team of kids his own age. WE can round up the neighbor kids to help him out!!!
