Pig Pit is a complex operation that takes months of preparation, money,
and the help of many incredible volunteers. To give y'all a better idea of
what it takes to throw this event, we have included below the per-year financial
breakdown of costs for running pig pit. This of course does not include the countless
hours of preparation and support we get.
Much love from the pig roasters in chief,
Rory & Elliot
