Finishing Pork Month Strong with Special Events

How many cool opportunities can the Oklahoma Pork Council squeeze into the final days of National Pork Month? We did our best to find out over the past week or so of memorable activities in celebration of our people and our pigs.

On Thursday, Oklahoma Pork co-hosted another Made in Oklahoma (MIO) Coalition free community lunch and shopper sweepstakes at an Oklahoma City Homeland location where catering partner Head Country Barbecue helped us distribute free pulled pork sandwiches and send one lucky shopper home with free Oklahoma-grown groceries. Hopefully, every attendee enjoyed their delicious lunch courtesy of Oklahoma pig farmers, but the happiest pork customer of all was likely the "Shopper Sweepstakes" winner John and his son Elijah who earned more than $1,100 of free Made in Oklahoma groceries during a seven-minute speed-shopping experience around Homeland's Britton and May location. In a heartfelt act of generosity, John shared with our team that he plans to donate much of his grocery haul to his church and a local nonprofit.
