Always Has Been: Chapter 1: The Great Pig Race of 1699

In 1699, an amusing event unfolded in England when a local farmer challenged a nobleman's prize-winning pig to a race at the annual fair. Believing his pig could beat the nobleman's favorite, the farmer adorned his animal with ribbons, creating a spectacle. Contrary to expectations, both pigs ran in circles instead of towards the finish line, much to the onlookers' amusement. The race concluded in a draw, with the nobleman inviting the farmer for a celebratory drink, highlighting a memorable moment of camaraderie.
