The Big Pig Gig has come and gone for 2008. Thanks are in order for the organizer Jenny Jennings. Whether the event was a financial success remains to be seen, but the buzz it generated for Menomonee Falls around SE Wisconsin was tremendous.

Many people helped make this event possible but (as I am fond of saying, because it is true) leadership makes things happen, not committees. Leaders take risks.

Thank you Jenny for taking the initiative and taking the risk to get this started in our community. Local service groups, like the Optimists and Rotary, received money for providing volunteers. This benefits our community as well as the many dollars that came in from other communities.

I like the fact there were local vendors who got to sell their wares to visitors. Live music events are great to have in our community.

No doubt, she had her share of ankle biters, but, fortunately, more people were supportive in making this happen than lying in the road to stop it.  Thanks to you as well.

Bravo Jenny!
