Johnny S. Wang, who is President of the Missouri Asian-American Bar Association (MAABA), said, “This fun public picnic is Asian-inspired and will offer plenty of amusements and entertainment for kids of all ages in addition to all the roast pig, roasted goat and refreshments that people want to eat and drink.”

The Pig Roast Picnic & Family Fun Fest admission price of $15 per person or $30 for a nuclear family covers all the food and beverages that people may want to consume, plus access to all the amusements and entertainments. The picnic will include pigs from Super Smokers, Filipino Lechon and Mandarin House, along with a roasted goat.
