Woooooo PIG SOOIE! It’s Wooo Pig Weekend this weekend, and there is so much to look forward to with fan events and Razorback games left and right. 

• Rally: The weekend will be highlighted by HogFest and the football open spring practice, which will sadly not be ending in the traditional Red and White game, but we’re sure it will still be epic. Hog Fest will include a classic car show, a live concert, food trucks, inflatables, and a pep rally, so get hyped.
• Play ball: The Razorback Baseball team and Softball team will be playing this weekend as well as the Women’s Tennis team. There is still time to get tickets for the softball series, and admission for the Women’s Tennis will be free!

An interactive magical croquet garden installation is coming to Walter Turnbow Park in Downtown Springdale this Friday and will be there through the fall. 

• Hand-made: The installation is called “Humongous Fungus: A Colossal Crochet Creation” and promises a larger-than-life experience with over 1,300 croquet squares, which took over 1,100 hours to complete and weigh approximately 350 pounds. 
• Feeling small: “Humongous Fungus” was inspired by the artist’s trip to the Giant Redwood Forest in California, where she felt small in what seemed like a magic garden. The artist wanted to recreate that feeling. The installation will be free to attend and the public is invited and encouraged to interact with it.
