The nominations are in and we are excited to feature our top 5 candidates for the inaugural Flying Pig Festival Kiss-A-Pig Contest! Donations are now open and whichever candidate brings in the most bacon (has the highest number of donations) will be the lucky winner who gets to pucker-up to a porcine on Saturday, June 15th! To make it even more fun, nominees can also buy Kiss-A-Pig insurance to try and buy their way out of their swine smooches! 

Meet the Candidate- Seth Hobbs

Seth Hobbs is the President/CEO of the Mineral Wells Area Chamber of Commerce and an incredible advocate for and partner in the Mineral Wells community! 

Here are some of our favorite things that the people who nominated Seth had to say: 

-Seth is the absolute perfect candidate to kiss a pig. He is fun-loving and would be the toast of the event. 

-Seth loves making bets and wagers so it is only fair that he has to enter this contest, especially when kissing a pig is involved. 

-Seth 100% would have fun with the kiss-a-pig contest and everyone would love to see him have to put his money where his mouth is or pucker up to a piggy! haha 

-Getting to see him kiss a pig would be the absolute greatest moment and would definitely draw a crowd. 

Kiss-A-Pig Rules: The process is simple, if you want to see Seth give a big ol smooch to a swine then leave a donation! The candidate with the highest donation amount will be announced Saturday, June 15th at 3:00 pm at the Flying Pig Festival in historic Downtown Mineral Wells! Candidates can also purchase Kiss-A-Pig Insurance to buy themselves out of kissing the pig or to put towards someone else! All donations are tax-deductible and will be used to fund community events in historic Downtown Mineral Wells! 

About the Festival: The Flying Pig Festival was founded in 2024, but its history dates back much further. For years many people have proclaimed The Baker Hotel aka "The Grand Old Lady of Mineral Wells" would make her reappearance "when pigs fly". But if you know anything about Mineral Wells, then you know nothing is too crazy for this little town to tackle. Pigs are certainly flying in Mineral Wells and the "Flying Pig" has become synonymous with the rebirth, revitalization and big dreams coming true across the city. In honor of those same big dreams, Downtown Mineral Wells is excited to introduce the inaugural Flying Pig Festival. Pigs are flying in the craziest little town in Texas and we invite you to come join in on the fun!
