Birthday pig roast marks Oscar Sieg’s 50th with 200 guests
In a yearly July celebration begun after a card game idea, Oscar Sieg hosts a 225 pound pig roast along with an old time band, ball games, dancing, and a singalong. Each year on his July 19 birthday the crowd—over 200 people—joins in singing happy birthday as the pig roast is added to the festivities.
