IRI Fundraiser - Kiss the Pig contest
 

I'm pleased as pork to announce a new fundraiser at the 2008 IRI.

Kiss the Pig Contest

Here is how it will work:

There will be a table, near the silent auction area in the main gym. This table will have 6-8 buckets placed on it. Each bucket will have a name and picture of a kissing contestant*. The dollar amounts of each bucket will be announced right before alliance selection for the elimination rounds. The contestant with the most money in their bucket at the time of when the awards begin will have the honor of kissing a 5-week-old female pig.

* - Contestants will need to agree to this (kissing the pig if their bucket has the most money in it) before IRI begins. I will be sending out emails this week, asking key mentors if they accept the honor of being a contestant. Contestants are FIRST mentors only.

If anyone wants to nominate a mentor, they can post the recommendation in this thread or simply PM me.

Proceeds from this fundraiser will be combined with our annual Silent Auction fundraiser. This year's beneficiaries are the Red Cross flood relief for Indiana, and American Cancer Society's Relay for Life in Howard County, Indiana.

As I receive confirmations back from invited contestants, I will post their names in this thread.

Is it Kosher? :D

I say it should also be done during the Championship with people like Dean, Woody, Dave and George W. the father :D

Wow. I'm constantly amazed at how much the midwestern folks of FIRST step it up in terms of everything.

This is no exception.

Looking forward to checking out this extra event while I'm at IRI for my first time ever!! w000000!!!! :cool:


(Btw, is there a schedule of times listed anywhere for all these extra events happening (ie: other than official competition schedules??)

The sex of the animal really makes a difference?

For that matter, is a 5-week-old pig of sufficient age, or is this harrassment?

And did you clear it with PETA? (And I don't mean People Eating Tasty Animals)

Will this be a Baker pig?

What if she tells the rest of the pigs?

Re: IRI Fundraiser - Kiss the Pig contest
 

Just a little promo idea here -
all you awesome pig-kissin' mentors out there - you should spread the word that you are the best pig-kissin' mentor at IRI and to fill that bucket to overflowing.

With money, nothing else.

Keep on keeping on, kiss that wee little piglet. (uh, 1902 - you've got some competition headed your way!)

The bodily location of the kiss has not yet been defined.

I recommend you remove this loophole lest the "winning" mentor be able to get away with kissing the pig's forehead or some other less disgusting location.

I also recommend assigning a minimum time duration for the kiss, to be verified by stopwatch at the event. If the winner fails to meet the criteria of an official kiss, creme pies and/or a water hose could be on hand to discipline them for their non-compliance......

On the mouth for a minimum of 10 seconds? And it better be convincing?.......LOL :D :P

Let's not have anybody owing this pig dinner...

Man I miss Indiana. Throw in a cow pie bingo sheet, and you have main entertainment for Pulaski County Tuesday night 4-H fair.

Nicely done. I do believe that there needs to be a youtube video of the winner....

...Could we have a College Student Kiss the Pig?

That could get interesting :P

Re: IRI Fundraiser - Kiss the Pig contest
 

Babysitter for the pig? Yes?

Re: IRI Fundraiser - Kiss the Pig contest
 

SuuuuWeeeee....t :rolleyes:

I anticipate the contestents shoveling 10's and 20's into other buckets to keep themselves in a 'losing' position.

Re: IRI Fundraiser - Kiss the Pig contest
 

I nominate Travis Hoffman to be one of the pig-kissing mentors. LOL

I just hope no tongue is involved. Not even on a sandwich.
Seconded.
