The group of 20 was a little quiet at first. Of all the attractions at Village of Dutch Delights in Ronks, Stoltzfus' pigs are the most animated but far from the corniest. When Stoltzfus dropped the gate, there always seemed to be one over-achieving pig willing to sprint through the run for the treat at the end. The rest followed at their own pace, making me think these pigs are more victim of their notorious gluttony than training. Still, they got a rise from the crowd when a volunteer held a treat in her mouth and one little piggy rose to take it.
People love it.
But for the last few years, I could barely survive. I hesitated to post the signs because we get a lot of senior citizens and special people here. Anyway, I don't want any of those people to have to pay. All the way from Ireland, the Furlongs didn't mind paying. Stoltzfus' trained pigs were a windfall by proximity.
