Help Laurens County First Steps Round Up Their Pigs During Squealin’ on the Square

September 24, 2024

Get ready, Laurens County! The Laurens County First Steps pigs are set to make a playful breakout during Squealin’ on the Square on October 4-5. These little piggies will be scattered around Laurens Square, and we need your help to bring them back!

Each pig will have a special collar with instructions for the lucky finders. When you return the lost pig to the Laurens County First Steps booth during Squealin’ on the Square, you’ll be rewarded with a children’s book, generously donated by the Toys for Tots Literacy Program.

If you can’t make it to the booth during the event, no worries! You can safely return the pig to the Laurens County First Steps office at 1029 West Main Street, Monday–Thursday from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and you will still receive a children’s book as a thank-you gift. Let’s work together to make sure these piggies go “wee wee wee” all the way back home and not to the market!
