Boat dockin’ & Pig Pickin’ draw a crowd

Speed, sweat and cheers

The Fairfields Volunteer Fire Department’s annual Pig Pickin’ On The Point and Extreme Boat Docking Contest on Saturday, June 6, at Buzzard Point Marina in Fairport attracted its largest crowd ever. More than 1,000 spectators watched the afternoon competition from shore, aboard docked boats at the marina and anchored vessels off Cockrell Creek. Organizers are already making plans to fine tune the event for 2027. Above, Capt. Spencer Headley of Reedville pushes the Capt. Roy stern-first into the slip. Photo by AnnGardner Eubank
