Going whole hog: Swine Fest in Basile, Louisiana


The first weekend of November took me to tiny Basile, Louisiana, where pretty much the town's entire population of 1,700 comes out for the Swine Festival, now in its 42nd year. This is really a core family tradition in these parts: this year's directors are four Fontenot sisters who grew up attending the Swine festival.
