The 33rd-Annual Hog Day celebration is set to begin Friday night at six o’clock in Efland.
The organization of Hog Day has shifted from the Chamber of Commerce over to the Orange County Optimist Club. Craig Lloyd is the President of that organization and says this is the second year the event has been held in Efland.
“[It’s] Orange County’s largest and oldest continuing festival, which is centered around barbecue; we have tons of arts and crafts vendors,” he says. “We have got a big children’s area, live entertainment, all kinds of other fun and games, [and] a car show.”
Lloyd says the event allows for a wonderful time for the whole family, while all of the proceeds are put back into non-profits in Orange County.
“It being a 100 percent volunteer-led organization now, we have no overhead,” he says. “So the more support we have from people attending, and buying barbecue sandwiches, and participating, the more money we can give right back to our community.”
Hog Day festivities run from six until nine o’clock Friday night and then start again at nine o’clock Saturday morning until three in the afternoon. The event will be hosted at the Efland Ruritan Club on Highway 70 West in Efland.
