A great way to get to the picnic grounds on a Fourth of July

Here come the Marching Mohawks of Piggott High School, under the direction of Mr. Brian Pearson (right) and Mr. Nathan Evans (somewhere at the back).

Gloria Crittenden and the kitchen crew were ready bright and early Friday morning.

Ed Winberry and Danny Brown held down the Chamber of Commerce booth for a time Friday afternoon.

It takes a half dozen photos to get a good one, but sometimes the culls are the most precious. Jordan Lewis (center) prepares to toss the crown, while Asher Lerma (left) and Trey Gentry just want those trophies.

I don't know who won the pig, but I'm glad it wasn't me.
