JJ's Hog Roast for Hospice& other deserving charities in need
Charity Event |
JJ's Hog Roast was started 8 years ago to remember and honor the loved ones that we have lost. Over the years it has become so much more thanks to everyone who attends year after year, the amazing sponsors that have partnered with us, and the awesome volunteers that dedicate their time to set up, work, and clean up over the weekend of the event.
JJ's 9th Annual Hog Roast
Coming August 2024
We are honored to provide entertainment, car show, mud races, silent auction, and a hog roast dinner to help celebrate JJ’s hospitable, and enthusiastic personality.
JJ lived his life to its fullest! He was known for his kind heart and lively spirit! He could be counted on for a good time! JJ enjoyed listening and dancing to various music genres, and partying with friends and family.

Nightly Entertainment
We provide entertainment on Friday and Saturday nights to hype up the atmosphere! To date, Uptown Entertainment and DJ Service has provided the Friday night musical entertainment with his amazing light and sound setup. In the past we brought in a local band to liven up the crowd and rattle the rafters with a variety of classic and current songs. All are welcome to come out and have a great time. No matter if your 1 or 100 there are songs for all to enjoy!
Memorial Balloon ReleaseIn 2018 we added a new way to honor those who have gone from our world and onto the next. We hosted our first Memorial Balloon release which allowed people to purchase a balloon and write a special message or name of a loved one onto the balloon. After the hog roast we all gathered outside for a short prayer and moment of silence as the balloons ascended into the clouds. We look forward to continuing this tradition next year.
