Arnold the pig chews birthday cake at Virginia gas station
Arnold the 600 pound pig celebrated his first birthday at Bethel Mason’s filling station in Fork Mountain Virginia. He ate a cake with a candle and a nickel gum ball, and drank milk and soft drinks while sleeping near a fan. He curiously roams with Mason’s dogs and enjoys frequent treats. Mason plans to keep Arnold around as long as he wants. In Ohio, voters defeated a 10 year 3.5 mill levy for the Tiffin Joint Vocational School District, forcing area pupils to seek schooling elsewhere.
