1 The above Equipment List is not necessarily all-inclusive; it is a basic plan. Certain other equipment, not included in the above list, is required for the early morning crew: i.e., large bag of popcorn, ready to use iced beer 3 , Bloody Marys, and a radio that will receive a minimum of one good (?) country music station. In later years, the equipment list has varied due to facilities available for the event and cooking arrangements. 2 Due to restrictions and unavailability of whole pigs, an acceptable substitute available to the PR Committee is pork Boston Butts (available in most groceries). The number and size equivalent to the aforementioned pig is approximately 25 Butts weighing 6 pounds each (about 3/4 lb. per person).
