Wallow With Us at Ollie Fest
We are having our first big festival with all the things! Food trucks, live music, painting pigs, winery vendor, more fun than you can imagine. Many of you may remember Oliver The Awesome Pig of viral internet fame, at his celebration of life last year it was decided that Ollie Fest will travel to a different sanctuary every year. Ollie's memory will live on, and support sanctuaries that help pet pigs. We are so excited that we are able to hold Ollie Fest this year. Entry is free, all proceeds from donations go directly to completing our two new buildings. Our new 15 stall pig barn, and new medical building will enable us to help so many more pigs. Please join us for music, food, fun, and go hog wild at Swine Knot.
