Pig on Route 106

Alpine girl · 09-03-2016, 11:33 AM

Has anyone noticed the ceramic pig on Route 106 that's always sitting in the yard? The people that own it must have a great sense of humor. They are continually changing the garb that they put on the pig depending on the holiday, the season, motorcycle weekend, etc. I always look to see what the pig is wearing when in the area.They never disappoint. Thank you for making me smile whenever I pass by. Keep up the good work.

Love that pig! I really dig his shades, though

We noticed it in early summer, not sure how long the pig dressing has been going on. Now, we watch for it every week when we drive by. They put some really cool costumes on it. It has been fun to watch what they do. It needs a facebook page with pictures.

Yesterday, it wasn't dressed up. Just hanging out with some geese.
Last weekend, it was driving the John Deere tractor.
In the heat, it was swimming in a pool.
Has had some patriotic ensembles as well. I wish I could remember them all.

It is on Parade road fairly close to the Meredith rotary. If you leave the rotary and head towards Laconia, it is on your left.

Kudos to the owners who have lots of great ideas and ingenuity.

Someone used to do something similar with a carved bear on the Moultonboro Neck Rd. a few years ago. Bathing suits and a mask with snorkel in the summer is one I remember. Our kids loved it!

Hi. The pig is located on the right hand side of the street on Parade Road (Route 106) as you are heading towards Meredith from Laconia. I believe it is someplace between Roller Coaster Road & the traffic circle. Happy hunting!

I would be happy to send you some pictures but I don't know how. I'm technologically challenged. Some of that is my own doing. Hopefully, someone will send you some. I really liked the one with the swimming pool.

At first when I saw your title`s post:,,,,,i thought you meant a cop.

I think this is it. About a half mile from the Meredith Rotary, on the left going south.

This sort of reminds me of how people used to display pink flamingos in public areas.

Live pink or die.

That's the pig! It's fun to see what he/she will be dressed up like next . We know motorcycle weekend it will have its leather jacket and sun glasses on. If you coming off the traffic circle, it's down on your left, right before the big empty field on your right

In Dover we have a similar scene, but here it is a duck on a front porch on 6th Street that changes outfits every day.

These folks have a great sense of humor. Today there are 2 big geese on top of the hippie bus and Piggy is next to it wearing a wizard's hat! Makes me smile every time I drive by!

Do they have it dressed in a pants suit?
