[edit] Background

Artists will decorate fiberglass pigs for local area sponsors. These pigs will be displayed around the town of Guilderland, and then auctioned off, with the proceeds going to the sponsor's charity of choice. The event begins in early spring, 2006, and the decorated pigs will be auctioned off in October. This is very similar to the well-known CowParade events that have taken place in cities since 2000.
