Point of Interest in Split Hoof

While some minor renovations need to be made the Sweet Swine County Museum it has long been a landmark in the town of Split Hoof! The much visited museum fell into disrepair after county poet lariat, Ronnie P. Silage, was hired as caretaker a few years ago (he needed some extra income due to a shortage of sales from his last published book of poetry). When asked why the condition of the museum has deteriorated under his purview, Silage matter-of-factly told Sweet Swine Scoop, "Listen, when I got this job I was told it would only require washing a few windows and sweeping once in a while. Well, I am here to tell you, I found out if you don't keep up with things they can get out of hand real fast!"

Original Andy Warhog "paint-o-graphs" have found their way into the Sweet Swine County Museum! Warhog, well known as Sweet Swine County's preeminent barn painter, initially created a series of eight so-called "limited-edition Pop Swine-Art pieces" accidentally while painting Clem Johnson's barn. Warhog told Sweet Swine Scoop, "I was looking at a group of eight photos Clem had taken of his neighbors when I kinda dropped them into one of my paint cans by accident. I quickly retrieved them and noticed that they looked kinda neat. Although Clem told me to throw them away, I'm glad I didn't. It gave me an idea. I can now kill two birds with one stone--create fine art while painting farmplace out-buildings. Wait until you see my new series that I created while painting Earl Silo's corn crib! I'm very happy that the prestigious Sweet Swine County Museum has seen fit to accept my donation of these eight pieces into their large collection of art and detritus from people around the county!"
