That's what the entire school was shouting after Father Dwayne said that he would kiss a pig if the school raised $19,500 or more with their annual fall fundraiser. Students in grades pre-school through sixth grade were busy selling to their relatives and neighbors in an attempt to see the parish priest kiss a pig. Such an entertaining exhibition had never taken place in the school's nearly 100 year old history until today. The top seller was a pre-schooler who sold nearly $1,000 worth of items. He received several prizes and $200 for his efforts.
Each classroom also had a Pig Race using battery-operated pigs. There were three heats and then the final race. Mrs. Kempf's Kindergarten pig crossed the finish line first. But the crowning glory of the fundraiser was when Father Dwayne puckered up to kiss the pig on the snout while Mr. Harting held "Wilbur the Pig" steady for the fulfillment of the promise. Although Father Dwayne thought the pig was cute, we all saw him wipe his lips immediately after snout and lips made contact.
