Pigs to parade in Burien before being auctioned
Mon, 04/05/2010
For the fourth year in a row, local artist Nan Ziegler and Glendale Lutheran School students have created five uniquely decorated pigs that will first be displayed in Burien shops then auctioned off at the school's annual fundraiser.
This year the pigs celebrate the 2010 Winter Olympics. The community is invited to pick up a map, find the pigs and write down their names and turn in completed maps for a chance to win a raffle prize.
Look for them in shops along Southwest 152nd Street and adjoining streets in downtown Burien. Maps are available at participating business or at Glendale school, 13455 2nd Ave. S.W.
Completed maps become a raffle ticket when turned in at the free and open to the public GLS Silent Auction on April 16th at 5:30 p.m.
All the pigs will be on display at the silent auction and will be sold at the live auction on April 17th, 5:30 p.m. at the Cove in Normandy Park.
Tickets are on sale for $32. Proceeds from the pig sales benefit Glendale Lutheran School.
The pigs are named Pigureskating, Snow-boar-der, Olympig, Ice Hoggie and Snort Track.
Participating businesses include Goodie Gumdrops, Gehl's Florist, 3 Wishes, Hayes's Feed & Country Store and Danish Bakery.
