Kewanee Back When The History Of The Hog Days Stampede

On the latest edition of Kewanee Back When, Sean Kernan and Dave Clark welcomed Nelson lay, the founder of the Hog Days Stampede, to talk about how the Hog Days Stampede became part of Kewanee Hog Days and a tradition among runners across the area and even across the globe. The first Hog Days Stampede took place on September 3rd 1977 and even as the pandemic kept the traditional race under wraps, the Stampede rolled on as a virtual event.
