MOORE HAVEN – The Glades County Youth Livestock Show included the Kiss the Pig contest, to raise money for Class of 2022 Project Graduation. The person with the most “votes” (donations) kisses the pig. This year’s winner was Glades County Commissioner Tony Whidden (left), but Glades County Manager Marcos Montes De Oca (right) came in a close second, so they both decided to the kiss the pig. The Moore Haven Middle High School Class of 2022 thanks everyone who came out and donated to the cause. The Kiss the Pig contest raised more than $2,000.
