A quick update on 2024 Pig Out- We will have public bathrooms available at the ball fields Friday night and at Memorial Hall Saturday. We looked into porter-potties, but it would be our biggest expense and they would be sitting out there after the event until Monday afternoon and I don't think anyone wants that. Please don't make us regret opening the public bathrooms to everyone. Clean up after yourself, pick up your own trash, and remember volunteers are the ones putting all of this on and cleaning up each night.
Neva Alden had to bow out for a huge opportunity she has that weekend, we are all so proud of her. We are filling her slot with two bands Friday night, we'll announce shortly.
It's looking like the weather on Friday night will be between 80-85 and cloudy on Friday night and 80-90 and breezy Saturday night.
Rough schedule of all three Pig Out Events
Friday(6/14) at the James Calhoun Sports Complex on Pleasant street.
Everything should be set up by roughly 3:00, if it's early I'll post on the Pleasantville area page. We will have Inflatables from Hop A Lot, North End's Beer Garden, The Pleasantville Youth Initiative and Pleasantville Church of Christ will have games set up as well. We will have live music starting at 6:00. Harter Family Farms will have a table set up as well.
The inflatables will be about 5 or 6 different setups and wristbands are $5 for unlimited access. If your family is struggling right now and would like a free one, please message me(randyjobst) and I can get you one ahead of time. We all go through tough times and one of the missions of the PBO is to make sure every kid can participate in sports and community events, so if money is tight don't be proud, just reach out and we'll make sure you are taken care of.

All proceeds to the Pig Out go to the Jasper Street Park Project and help keep this event coming back each year. None of this is city funded, alll the money comes from the PBO and our sponsors and it all run by volunteers who don't make a dime off this event.
We'd like to thank our Presenting Sponsor- McKay Group, a long with our other sponsors- People's Bank, Accura Healthcare, Southern Iowa Electric, Fareway of Knoxville and Michelle Green Reality.
