Dozens of kids joined in on a pig chase at the Montezuma County Fairgrounds on Saturday.

First thing in the morning, everyone who had arrived at the fairgrounds flocked to the swine barn for the greased pig chase events. Families and children stood on fences surrounding the arena, eagerly waiting for their chance to chase a pig.

Children were divided into age groups, with older children, ages 10 to 12, chasing larger piglets, while the younger children, 8 and younger, chased smaller piglets. The tiniest children in the bunch, 2 years old and under, chased a stuffed pig on a pole.
