Hello Everyone, It’s hard to say how much I appreciate everyone who helped make the pig fly yesterday.  But fly she did and it was spectacular, the Flying Pig Parade was the realization of a dream I’ve had for years. I see folks are enjoying it today all over social media. I know I am. Here’s a batch of photos from one skilled photographer… https://www.facebook.com/stilljustabillphotography/ and a 16-minute drone shot (just the first third, accompanied by cheesy music) by my friend, Dan, that’s pretty cool. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-e&q=flying+pig+parade#fpstate=ive&ip=1&vld=cid:f5ca38d3,vid:V7IOY6hPz0Q,st:0 Yep, we made somethin’ happen! Time to start planning for next year. -Glenn

It’ll take wing in Downtown Gainesville, Florida, on December 30th. Our procession will be impossibly cute and enormous fun for both participants and spectators. As temperatures rise and the world gets crazier we need a good laugh… a humongous laugh! A sassy processional led by smiling swine can do that.

Anyone can be in the parade as long as they are colorful and entertaining – think costumes, dancing, music, and theatrical performances. Giant puppets will engage and inspire. Presidential contenders will fight with pillows and happy fish will gush about sea level rise (their motto, “You can’t have too much water!”). Click to read more.
