'Pig races' bring home the bacon at Harborough
More than 70 people turned up to cheer on their favourites at a leading Market Harborough charity’s annual ‘pig’ showdown.
They raised about £300 for the town’s Twenty 12 Lions club.
Some 16 mechanical model pigs competed in four races with Bertie Bacon pipping Oinky Ollie on the line by a trotter.
A Lions club spokeswoman said: “It was a fantastic night.
“We raised over £300 for some great causes and we’re already looking forward to welcoming supporters to our next pig race extravaganza.”
