This is the 26th annual Great Pirate Purple/Gold Pigskin pig-out Party in Greenville, NC from April 17-18, 2009.  The family-oriented festival is getting bigger and better than ever!  The event is kicked off early in the week with Pirate baseball on tuesday and wednesday evenings, and pirate softball on wednesday. The pig-out has joined with many other pirate activities this year to make the PirateFest.
