Local and state candidates will gather next Tuesday.
The Triangle Community Coalition, a pro-development business group, will holds its seventh annual pig picking at the always incongruous Brier Creek Country Club in Raleigh.
The event, which usually draws a healthy crowd, will feature stump speeches from more than 20 candidates for Congress, the legislature and local county boards.
This year, the annual straw poll will be conducted electronically on eight computers around the room.
"No more mismarked ballots — and yes, no 'hanging chads,'" coalition representative Chris Sinclair writes Dome.
The pig picking will be held form 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Tickets are available here.
