I have always loved the small town I grew up in, its supportive and kind. But this weekend something happened during the livestock auction at the county fair that amazed me.
There was a little girl in one of the 4-H groups who was diagnosed with Leukemia a few months ago, she used to sell a pig at the auction every year and this year was unable to. During the auction they stopped for a moment and they announced that J's 4-H group decided to raise a pig in her honor and auction it off, the proceeds would go to her family. Well the pig got auctioned off once, for $11.50 per pound, then donated back. Auctioned off again for $10 per pound, then donated back again. The 3rd and last time it was auctioned off it went for $9.50 a pound. All of the money will go to J's family. It's amazing the love and care in small towns.
