Eat-a-Pig Roast!

Join me for 2025 Eat-a-Pig Roast! Despite somewhat irreverent advertising, it a a family-style event. Really.

Roast: https://eatapig.wordpress.com/
Site: https://eatapig.com/
Camp: https://campalbemarleva.org/

The 2-day event (Saturday 12PM to Sunday 10AM) takes place at the Camp Albemarle, a 20-minute drive from Charlottesville. It is a great location with a ton of room for activities and even a river (Moormans) running through it for wading and short tube rides (I'll have a couple of tubes). Look for the Pig Balloons at the entrance (until they get stolen) …

The entrance "fee" is a bottle of alcohol or a pack of beer for the bar plus a side dish (optional).

There is a lot of room to camp and a few big cabins with basic bunk beds where you can crash as well. So please DO NOT PLAN ON DRINKING AND DRIVING HOME!!!! We cannot stress this enough. Do us all a favor and make a plan. Cab it or camp out with us.

Just a couple things for those coming for a first time:

• -NO DRINKING AND DRIVING!!!!! We are very serious. Make a plan to get home safe or camp.
• -NO smoking on the camp property. If you need to smoke, you will have to go sit in a car.
• -Camp with us. Cheaper than a DUI and you get to help clean up in the morning :)
• -BYOB. That means a bottle of alcohol for the bar in addition to whatever you plan on drinking.
• – Get there earlier and enjoy the day, food and music.
• – Of course, Jim and his Dad will be cooking the PIG and BUTTS!

In short:
WHERE: Camp Albemarle 1654 4-H Way, Charlottesville Va 22901
WHAT: A chance to hang out with great friends, eat excellent food, listen to great music, wonder if Captain Joe will make it past 6pm, play life-sized JENGA, ring toss
WHY: Why not? The first 23 worked out pretty well for everyone.
OTHER STUFF: We will still have great food, great music and a chance to hang out all day with friends
(old and new). We are just going to take another year to chill out and have an awesome pig roast.

Weather forecast: sunny and temps in seventies. Bring a swim suit. I will be there at 4PM and likely sleep over.
