Tenth Hog Wild To Be First Event at Field Hall
The 10th Annual Hog Wild – which will be one of the most exciting fundraisers ever held in Port Angeles – will be on Saturday, June 17, and will be the first event held in the newly constructed Field Arts and Events Hall in downtown Port Angeles.
“We are excited to be able to hold this event in one of the theaters in the Northwest,” said OMCF Foundation Executive Director Bruce Skinner. “it will be a performance hall for everyone, and an incredible game changer for downtown Port Angeles.”
Hog Wild will continue to include games where attendees can win prizes, but several other performers have been added to the schedule, including five who have performed in Circus or Teatro Zinzanni – the highly popular event in Seattle. It will also feature a showing of the movie Casablanca in Field Hall’s state of the art theater.
“We will have a costume contest – we encourage people to show up in 40’s or movie dress from the Casablanca era,” said Skinner. “Many people have seen Casablanca several times on television, but few have seen it on the big screen, which they’ll be able to do at Hog Wild.”
Individual performers at the event will include:
