The presentation, Wild Boar to Baconfest: Pigs in History and Popular Culture, will take place on Sunday, March 8th, 2026, at the 611 E. Third St, Sterling, IL, at 2 pm. Pigs offer culinary delight and potential medical advances, but also create some challenges. Join Clampitt in exploring the topic of pigs, which is as far-ranging as pigs themselves.
