L.A. Racing Pig Show To Be In Marshall, Texas

No one wants to see Minnesota winter weather but everyone will be thrilled to see Minnesota pig racing when it comes to Marshall this month.

 

The L.A. Racing Pig Show, a combination of audience antics mixed with piglets racing around a track, will be hosting several two hour performances in the Marshall City Arena beginning January 13.

 

“Audience participation is the key to the excitement of this family show” says Gary Dauer, owner and creator of the L.A. Racing Pig Show. “Friends and family love to take pictures and video as their loved ones perform before the crowd.  It’s an unforgettable experience for everyone” concluded Dauer.

 

The L.A. Racing Pig Show has been entertaining audiences for the last several years near Leader, Minnesota and other northwest Minnesota communities.  The two hour show involves audience participation, both from adults and children, that includes horse races (inflatable bumpers), redneck horseshoes using toilet seats, bubble gum contests, hoola hoops, sack races and other hilarious and interactive contests.

 

The L.A. Racing Pig Show will be in the Marshall City Arena, located at 3310 Poplar Street, with four shows on January 13, 14, 20, and 21 at 7 PM and a special Sunday matinee on January 22 at 2 PM.  Admission price is $5.00 per person age three and above.  There is no charge for children age two and under.  Tickets can be purchased at the arena two hours before show time on the scheduled dates.

 

Additional information about the L.A. Racing Pig Show is available from the Marshall Convention and Visitors Bureau by phoning 903-702-7777, at www.VisitMarshallTexas.org, or on Facebook.
