A Few of the Faces Behind Hog Days!

Meet the 2012 Board of Hog Capital Barbecue, Inc., who along with many wonderful volunteers, put this Hog Fest thing together.  Pictured above, front and center  from the left, are Co-chairpersons Kaye Finney and Robyn Resch.  Standing behind them from the left are: Treasurer Larry Flannery; Vice chairperson Anne Murchison; Vice chairperson Bonnie Peterson; Secretary Janie Metscaviz; Vice chairperson Ron Finney; and Vice chairperson Mary Ashpole.

Committee members include: Kevin Burnett, Rick Dennison, Richard Dykes, Kyle Engstrom, Jeff Finney, Annette Finney, Mary Jo Folger, Ken Gutschlag, Terry Huff, Kathy Miller, Corrinne Murchison, Kevin, Ruth and Teresa Neuleib, Howard O'Neil, Niles Reamer, Keith Resch, Bill and Ruth Anne Scott, Marcie Spiker, Ted VanWassenhove, Kris Wexell, Terry, Marge and Wally Wickey, Dave and Ladosha Bystry, JaLynn Kincaid and Larry Neels. 

Unfortunately, we have no available photo of the most important people of all in our organization...the countless individuals who just show up each and every Hog Fest weekend, not wanting any credit, who start in cleaning, grilling, selling tickets and doing all the things that make our community shine throughout Labor Day weekend.  You are the true "stars" of this production we call Hog Days!  And it is very safe to say, without all of you, the "show" would not go on. Thank you for being there!

     
All of our Full Committee meetings are always open to the public and you are welcome to attend.  If you have a specific item of business you'd like to talk about, let us know in advance so we can add it to that meeting's agenda.  All meetings listed below begin at 7 PM.  To print the meeting schedule, please click here.
