Piggy

So last year the Ozark Literacy Council came up with this idea to make 25 giant size fiberglass pigs and have local artists paint them for businesses to purchase. If you are a business that wants to participate you got to pick at artist out of the porkfolio and then you paid a flat amount for the pig and artist. I brought the idea to participate to my work Lewis Automotive. They liked the idea so they paid for a blue ribbon sponsor. Our artist was great. We didn't like any of the ideas in the folder for our dealership so we talked to her about making our pig a salesman. He has keys in his hand and a blue book in his pocket. Anyways then the pig got to sit at our dealership til it was time for the piggies to all go to auction. Tonight they had all the piggies at the town center for a big auction. Our pig was one of the top sellers at $2600 raised for the literacy council. I am so glad that we all got involved in this. So after the initial amount that we paid they got $2600 more. On just our pig! It was a really great idea for a fundraiser and the Ozark Literacy council made some good money tonight!
