Troy Pig Out returns Sunday after pandemic absence



It's baaaack! Or, should we say, fatback?

The 16th Troy Pig Out, which hasn't been held since before the COVID-19 pandemic struck, returns this Sunday starting at noon and running through 5 p.m. 

Attendees will be able to try $4 samples from each participating food provider and vote for the people's choice winner in the BBQ competition, while a panel of three guest judges will weigh in with their views on whose chow is tops. 

Live music will be provided by Berk Star, Grandstand Jockies, and Black Mountain Symphony. And, Famous Lunch will be sponsoring the "Downtown Troy Hot Dog Eating Contest" starting at 1 p.m. at Broadway and 5th Avenue. The contest is open to the public and anyone can sign up to compete.
