The summer party has always been known as the 47th Annual Roasting of the Hog, even back when it consisted of 100 potluckers and one pig at Wade’s house. The following year, Wade relocated the roast to a friend’s hotel, but kept the “47th Annual” name. When the fire department in 1974 took over the event, it followed suit.
“The tradition carries on, but now it’s 2000-plus people,” says Wade. “They have bands and clogging and all that kind of stuff.”

JULY 6th FUN!!!! Kith and Kin will be on the fairgrounds instead of the library! Everybody is welcome so come on out for the Madison County Library celebration!
As part of the Madison County Public Library’s Summer Reading Program, we have scheduled an Olympic Day event at the Madison County Fairgrounds on Wednesday, July 6, from 10 am to 1 pm. We will offer an area designed especially for children birth to five years old. In addition to a small “bounce house” and small waterslide, we will be offering additional activities including some outdoor messy fun: painting, paper mulch “mud” kitchen, and also a quiet/cozy area for just chilling out. Smart Start/MCPFC&F, Rosie from Kith & Kin, and CDSA folks will be on-site and ready to play.
Come dressed to play and get dirty!!!
