JACKSON COUNTY FAIR Pigs can't fly, but they can run Comment By Local report MailTribune.com By Local report Posted Jul. 22, 2016 at 7:45 PM By Local report Posted Jul. 22, 2016 at 7:45 PM » Social News Four times daily at the Jackson County Fair, a dozen pigs toe the line to strut their stuff before enthusiastic fans cheering them on. Queued up in groups of four, they await the incongruous "start your engines" command before the gates open, sending them on their roughly 15-second dash.

The fair continues Saturday and Sunday, with free admission for everyone on Sunday.
