Harley-Davidson enthusiast Dave Geitner tries his hand at riding a different kind of mechanical hog, only being thrown off after staying on for more than 20 seconds. The mechanical pig was just one of the activities at the YWCA Bradford’s Swig & Swine, one of two pig-themed fundraisers held Saturday for the non-profit organization. A Chasin’ Bacon Challenge was held in the morning, followed that evening by Swig & Swine. The evening event also included a bacon-eating contest, live music, food vendors and alcoholic beverages.
