==History==
During the 2004 “North Carolina Main Street” 24th Annual Awards Banquet, Pigs in the City won ''Best Downtown Special Event'' for their first event in 2003. The event drew over 40,000 visitors from all over the state in its first year. It became an annual event after 2006. The cost to "sponsor" one of the 20 pigs on display was $1,000 during the first exhibition, which paid for the initiative. There was some controversy as the "Root for the Troops" pig was stolen from its perch in front of the Army & Navy Store on Main Street.〔
The fourth annual "Pigs in the City" event was held from May 23 through October 23, 2008, and was called "Power of the Pig." The pigs were also on display during the 25th Anniversary Lexington Barbecue Festival and during the ''Official Food Festival of the Piedmont Triad Region of the State of North Carolina,''〔(State Library )〕 a one-day event that usually draws up to 150,000 visitors from all over the nation to Lexington, a town of about 20,000 residents.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Rain Is No Match for Barbecue )〕
