Community Pays $47,000 for Swine After Boy Loses Mother

by

During the Livestock sale at the Hardee County fair in Wauchula, Florida, something very special happened.  This was no ordinary livestock sale.  According to Fox13 News (http://bit.ly/1TresNF) when 11 year old Heath Hendry walked into the sale ring with his hog, the whole room initially went completely silent. Earlier that week, Heath's mother, an elementary teacher and a single mom, had died suddenly of a heart attack.  

In a show of support, community came together to purchase Health pig, which ended up selling for $170 dollars a pound and raised $47,000!

According to reports, there wasn't a dry eye in the house.  Hats off to this great community!
