The PREBLE COUNTY PORK FESTIVAL is a two-day event (Saturday - Sunday) which takes place annually on the third full weekend of September. The purpose of the festival is to promote the pork industry, a major source of income to Preble County. Pork is featured as the major food item throughout the festival. Come early and start the day with the all-you-can-eat sausage and pancake breakfast, snack throughout the day at convenient soft drink and sandwich stands, have lunch at the Porkhaus Short Order Restaurant with ham and sausage sandwiches, individual barbecued pork chops, chips, pork rinds, coffee, pie and other goodies or really "pig-out" at the famous Barbecued Pork Chop Smorgasbord. Don't be intimidated by the food lines-they move quickly. Then, before you leave, stop by the Porkville Country Store and pick up a fresh pork loin, some bacon, ham, sausage or pork chops to take home.
Visitors can learn new ways to prepare pork, see the new litter of piglets enjoy a variety of live music or see the pig races. No matter what you choose to do, you will find this to be more than your ordinary festival.
