I only have a few more weeks of guiltless pigging out (Baby Duggan will be here soon!), but it’s that time of year to think ahead to our Pig Out for Parkinson’s event! The Pig Out is an annual fundraising and awareness event that benefits the Meadowlark Parkinson’s Program. This year, the Pig Out is scheduled for Thursday, April 27, at Cox Bros. BBQ in Manhattan, Kan.

This year supporters have the opportunity to purchase tickets for a chance to win an autographed Jordy Nelson Pro Bowl Jersey! Tickets for the jersey can be purchased at the Hospitality Desk or Verna Belle’s Café. Cost for tickets is $1 for one ticket and $5 for six tickets. The winning ticket will be drawn at 8:50 p.m. Thursday, April 27, during the Pig Out. You do not need to be present to win.

Your support of Pig Out for Parkinson’s, through eating at the restaurant or purchasing raffle tickets, helps the Parkinson’s Program continue to provide free services to those in the Flint Hills area affected by Parkinson’s disease.

See you next week and thanks for stopping by!
