Rockford, Ill. – With great weather in store for the weekend, Hammy Hog will be out in the Rockford area to soak up all the sun.

Hammy ‘s busy weekend begins on Saturday as he will make four appearances at four different events. The first is at the Rockford Public Library in downtown Rockford from 10-11 a.m. as he joins the party to kickoff the summer reading program.

Immediately after the kickoff party, Hammy will head to Rock Cut State Park from 10:30-11:30 a.m. to participate in the Rockford Noon Lions’ Fish and Fun Day. Last year’s even included pontoon boat rides, fishing, face painting, and much more.
