Flying Pig

 


This is the weekend for Cincinnati's Flying Pig Marathon, and these cute little guys were in the bakery case at Graeter's.

Why the name?  Cincinnati used to be home to many stockyards.  Apparently some of them used to run pigs through the downtown streets.  This was long ago, in the 1800's.

The weekend is big, with a marathon, half marathon, 10K, and a one mile event.  The marathon is a sight to see, all those runners spilling over the bridges.

I wonder whether I could do a one mile next year.  Just, wondering.
