Today we found 6 official Smithfield pigs and 1 unofficial piggie.  We also discovered that 1 piggie, "Magnolia," located in front of the Isle of Wight County Museum, is under repair as some meanie broke off her ears :(  We will check back in on her later.  We were unable to locate another pig, "Windsor Castle Pork," which was supposed to be at the Mason St. entrance to Windsor Castle Park.  We will try another time.  Here are the cuties we found:
