The Climax Community Club’s 35th annual Swine Time Festival Friday night and Saturday in Climax featured something for everyone.

Community Club President Charles Hadsock said everything came together to make the festival special.

“We couldn’t have had more beautiful weather, and we probably had more people and venders than ever before,” Hadsock said. “I would estimate we had between 20,000 and 25,000 people visiting during the day.”

Festival activities began with Friday night’s annual pilau supper at the community club house and Grand Ole Opry performance at the Head Start School, which featured Climax residents playing the roles of Opry stars. Both events were sponsored by the Climax Golden Agers.

The Swine Time parade was led by grand marshals from Jones Country Meats.

Parade winning entries were the Seminole County queens float in the float category, and Larry Harrison’s car in the car category.
