Let's see, the bbq goes there & the carnival goes there and the craft show & flea market....

Meet the 2024 Board of Directors of Hog Capital Barbecue, Inc., who along with an army of awesome volunteers and a community spirit second to none, put this Hog Fest thing together. Pictured above in the top row (left to right) are Co chairperson and Treasurer Larry Flannery, Vice chairperson Robyn Resch and Co chairperson Mike Komnick. In the bottom row (left to right) are Secretary Janie Metscaviz, Vice chairperson Niles Reamer and Vice chairperson Anita Blanks. Committee members include: Dave and Ladosha Bystry, Jen Charboneau, Rick Dennison, Dave Feurer, Ron Finney, Larry Kazala, Anne Murchison, Larry Neels, Zach Rux, Mary Simaytis and Bill and Ruth Anne Scott. If we've left anyone off the list, we apologize and please let us know. Here are some of the full committee members at a meeting smiling (because we TOLD them to!) as they planned hog days 2023.

Unfortunately, we haven't been able to get together in one photo 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 Kewanee Hog Days in every sense of the word and we are humbly grateful for keeping our Labor Day weekend event alive and well for the past 70 years!

All of our Full Committee meetings are always open to the public and you are welcome to attend.  All meetings listed below begin at 7 PM.

Speaking of volunteers, got a few people we'd like you to meet. Please click here.
