Rolling Hills Wildlife Adventure

McPherson, Kansas hosts special events throughout the year. On Labor Day weekend for the past three years, the event has been "When Pigs Fly," a combination fly in and BBQ contest. The top prize for 2007 was $1,000.

Wander past the 25 competing BBQ teams and you may be able to try some samples, or purchase BBQ at the hanger. Then check out the airplanes and related exhibits while listening to the sounds of the Wheatland Old Timers, a pick up band made up of men who have played together occasionally for many years. 

Concessions, paper airplane contest, pony rides, powered parachutes, flight simulator, sky diving and more simple fun! Saturday, August 25, 2007. Or drop by and check on the BBQ teams on Friday night.
