Pucker up, porky

Pucker Up
For a quarter each vote, Iolans can select their favorite law enforcement officer during Farm-City Days, said Roberta Ellis, coordinator of Project Care. The winning officer must kiss a live pig on Saturday. Proceeds will go to Project Care, which provides Christmas gifts for underprivileged children in Allen County. Competing officers are all members of the Fraternal Order of Police, event sponsor. The pigs can be seen at the FOP booth on the Iola square. Officer Brian Donovan noted the booth is usually located across from Duane’s flowers, but a new coordinator is determining locations this year. Still, he said, they shouldn’t be too hard to find. “We should be the only booth with a pig.”
