Big Boar replaced at Illinois State Fair Swine Barn
The Illinois State Fair will stop displaying the winner of the Big Boar contest in the Swine Barn. A lively 20 pound piglet pen with a temperature controlled farrowing unit will replace the exhibit. The change aims to align with modern pork production and reduce misperceptions among fairgoers.
