The first activity in the com- munity is the “Pass The Pig” fundraiser, which will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 17 be- ginning at 9 a.m. If you’re not familiar with Pass the Pig, let us set the por-scene.It works like this: A local business wishes to send a pig to you, and FFA members will show up with a baby pig. In order to get rid of the pig, the FFA asks for a $20 donation and the name of the business that you would like to send the pig to next. That business will then send the pig on to another busi- ness, and so on. If you know you would like the pig or would like to send the baby pig to a busi- ness you can contact Don Schmidt or Nita Bozarth at Hood River Valley High Hood River News file photo THE CREW at Shortt Supply welcomes an FFA team, and pig, in a recent Pass the Pig visit.
