Cumberland County 4-H Leaders Association Pig Raffle 2023

What is a 4-H Pig Raffle?

Annually a piglet is donated for a 4-H member to raise throughout the Summer. Local feed stores donate the grain for the hog and once it is mature a local butcher shop processes the meat. Tickets are sold $1 each or $5 for 6 and the winner is typically chosen on the last day of the Cumberland Fair. The raffle winner then picks up the meat at the local butcher shop.

Who Benefits?

4-H in Cumberland County is the largest 4-H program in Maine with the most enrolled youth, volunteers, and clubs. We host seven county-wide events for all 4-H youth ages 5-18, with some events also open to the public. Proceeds from the pig raffle support all of these events to provide positive youth development experiences to local youth!  National 4-H Trip Sponsorships, Camperships and Scholarships are also offered to 4-H youth with the funds provided from the Pig Raffle.
