"Year of the Pigs"

It Is Time For Swine At The 2010 Indiana State Fair
2010 will be the “Year of the Pigs” at the Indiana State Fair. Fair spokesman Andy Klotz told HAT they are partnering with Indiana Pork Producers to promote pigs and pork. Klotz said one of the reasons Pork was chosen was because of the desperate economic conditions many Hoosier pork producers find themselves in, “We want to do what we can to help turn this economic crises around.” “Indiana’s pork farmers recognize this unique opportunity to directly connect with consumers at the State Fair, and are excited about sharing with them the truly impressive story of producing pork in our state,” Mike Platt, executive director for the Indiana Pork Producers, said. “It’s a story of innovation, ingenuity, strong family values, commitment to quality, and dedication in the service of our fellow Hoosiers.”
