Although it may not look or feel much like spring today, we are well into March and as always, the new season brings many exciting activities. The NCAA Tournament has yet again lived up to its “March Madness” status while people finally realize what the letters FGCU stand for on their busted brackets. But most importantly, spring means that the annual Midwest pig sale season is in full swing. As families begin shopping for junior gilt and barrow projects, there are several things to keep in mind.
The NSR Extravaganza will take
place at 6 p.m. on April 24th at the
Wayne County Fairgrounds.
