How many special events can the Oklahoma Pork Council squeeze into National Pork Month? We are sure trying to see with a few days left in October! This week, continuing the celebration of our people and our pigs, Oklahoma Pork co-hosted another Made in Oklahoma (MIO) Coalition free community lunch and shopper sweepstakes at Jumbo Foods in Enid.

Our "dream team" of the Oklahoma Pork Council, the MIO Coalition, and catering partner Head Country Barbeque distributed more than 375 free pulled pork sandwiches in record time and sent one lucky shopper home with a free cart of Oklahoma-grown groceries. A special shoutout to Adam Escobar and Lee Smith from The HANOR Company for helping serve meals, and thanks to HANOR's Mauricio Diaz, Tom Layne, Greg Sconyers, Keith Reiner, Jennifer McCool and Diane Stanberry for joining the fun.

Hopefully, every Enid area resident enjoyed their lunch, but the happiest pork customer of all was likely the "Shopper Sweepstakes" winner who earned more than $650 of free Made in Oklahoma groceries during her seven-minute speed-shopping experience around Jumbo Foods. She certainly made the most of the speedy opportunity heading straight to the meat case and wisely adding delicious pork to her cart among other Oklahoma products!

Thank you to Oklahoma Pork's incredible partners for sharing pork and smiles, and our board and staff are excited for even more giving opportunities as we enter the holiday season!
