Meet the Tri-State’s Newest Celebrity: A Show Pig with Purpose

Fort Thomas, KY — July, 4th

– Move over influencers, there’s a new star in town—and he’s got hooves, a bowtie, and a heart for the community. Introducing the tri-state’s most charming new mascot: a polished, proud, hilariously self-aware celebrity show pig who’s flipping every pig stereotype on its curly tail.

This is not your average pig.
He’s clean. He’s classy. He’s ironically humble. And he’s ready to take the summer—and the community—by storm. Whether it’s a school visit, a ribbon cutting, or a barn dance, this pig shows up dressed for the occasion and deeply committed to connecting with people of all ages.

Oh—and he’s got a surprisingly great sense of humor. In true show pig fashion, he’s fully aware of the irony and still says he loves a good barbecue… as long as he’s not on the menu.

 

Star-Studded Debut: 4th of July Parade

He’ll make his public debut July 4th in the Fort Thomas parade, cruising in style on his custom red, white, and blue float, rocking star-spangled shades and waving with a hoof. Expect selfies. Lots of them.

But don’t call him by name just yet. His name is still a mystery—and that’s where you come in.
