The kitchen queue stretched out almost into the side street &#8230; but no one was complaining.<\/p>\n<p>The folk festival visitors, though, decided to postpone their usual Saturday night concert to Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Debra said the pig-on-the-spit night was becoming more and more popular.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The pub will be keeping to the pig theme on November 17-19 with their &#8220;Big Boar&#8221; competition.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Boar hunters will be competing for cash prizes for\u00a0 &#8220;Biggest Boar&#8221;, &#8220;Biggest Sow&#8221;, &#8220;Mystery Weight&#8221;, &#8220;Best Hooks&#8221;, &#8220;Biggest One Hunt Load&#8221; plus novelty classes for dogs and handlers.<\/p>\n<p>Hunters must register prior to the event.<\/p>\n<p>Cost is $20 per person\/team.
