Pig Racing at the Queens County Farm Museum

I'm a big fan of the pig races at the state fairs. We're aficionados. I just wish you could bet on the little guys. The best part is the puns from the announcer/wrangler/owner/carny dude.

I probably don't want to know much more about what happens to the pigs when their racing careers are over.

Yeah, the carny dude kind of, uh, elided that topic. I think the reality of the pigs' future would have bummed the little ones out.

CARNY DUDE: And then in six months, they'll be . . returning to the farm

PHOTOGRAPHER BEHIND ME: No, no, no. Bacon. They'll be bacon.
