The Pig's flying high

If you haven't been to the Flying Pig lately, you should stop by. The clothing store's new space at 501 Central Ave. suits them well. Be sure to say hi to Betty Beals, Marilynn Huseby, Dorthea Fury, Helene Proffitt or Jo Lancaster. All five are partners and have planned some exciting events.

On Sept. 26 and 27, the ladies are hosting Miss Piggy's Bag Lady event, which will start on Friday, Sept. 26 at 3:30 p.m. and run until 6 p.m. Huseby said that those who attend will be given treats and the chance to fill up a bag of clothes for $10.

The store will continue the Miss Piggy's Bag Lady event on Saturday, Sept. 27.
