| One of the hogs in the Dixon May Fair Hogcalling Contest was a prize winner--Lincoln, a 258-pound hog raised by Allison Pryor of Dixon. Here they enter the ring. Lincoln won the 4-H Champion Hog and then went on to win Reserve Supreme Grand Champion Hog, or the second best market hog at the Dixon May Fair. Allison, a member of the Maine Prairie 4-H Club, Dixon, took junior showmanship honors in swine. This is the fourth hog she's raised: first, Lola, followed by Lucky and Lefty and then Lincoln.
