Did the title of this post get your attention? Good. We have these amazing, new, beautiful flying pigs that have been placed all over Fayetteville. I wanted to share a couple (okay, 3) with you.
These first two are located on the Fayetteville square.
As you may be able to tell, this one is in front of the Clinton House Museum (located in Bill and Hillary's home while living in Fayetteville and teaching at the UofA Law School).
It has almost become a game for me to look for them around town. They make me smile. Each has a unique paint design. I find them delightfully whimsical and a perfect fit for Fayetteville. Afterall, we are home to the mighty Arkansas Razorbacks. These very cute piggies do not in any way resemble a razorback. We do have a few of those placed strategically around campus as well.
On a side note, we do have a new head hog. The announcement was made yesterday that Wisconsin's head coach, Bret Bielema, will be the new Arkansas Razorback football coach. It has been very interesting listening to the response over the last couple of days. I am cautiously optimistic. He has a very good record. Time will tell.
The University will be closed from Monday, December 24 through Tuesday, January 1 for the Christmas break. We will return to the office on Wednesday, January 2nd. MBA Orientation is January 7-11 and classes will begin on the 14th. I risk sounding like my grandmother by saying this, but where has the time gone? This semester has flown by very quickly. Like my cute pigs.
