Intermediate Champion Showmanship:
Adam Tofte-Patrick (right), who owns the intermediate champion Explorer pig
showmanship title, feeds Dottie, from outside the pen because she chased
Adam, Jeni Tofte-Tourloukis (left) and Gianis Tofte-Tourloukis (front) out
of her pen. Both Dottie and Wilbur had been asleep and were initially
annoyed when the children entered to have their pictures taken with their
pigs. The trio are members of Jackson Volunteers 4-H Club.
