Among the livestock and produce on display in the Expo Center, nothing draws a crowd like the baby pigs.
As an enormous sow lay on her side against the cage Friday morning, her dozen or so offspring alternately nursed, snoozed and pushed each other around.
The real crowd-pleaser, though, was the pile of piglets trying to nap in what looked like a big plastic food dish. Just when it looked like everyone was comfortable, another piglet would climb on top, wiggling into position so that another fell out the side, bringing laughter and the whirring of digital cameras.
The dozing donkeys and giant watermelons just couldn't compete with that.
