FREE FEST: Troy Pig Out Is Saturday

The 10th annual Troy Pig Out will get fired up at Riverfront Park in Troy from 10am-9pm on Saturday (July 15), and by now everyone should that the centerpiece of the day-long festival is the big barbecue contest, which draws competitors from all over. And, you, the festival-goers, get to vote for your favorite, too.
