He is expected to arrive sometime today.

The committee members of the Boorowa Education Foundation would like to warn the communities of Boorowa, Cowra, Canowindra, Cargo, Nashdale, Orange and everywhere in between – a giant pig is coming your way.

But despite his robust size, Percy isn’t to be feared.

In fact he’s making his way to Orange to spread an important message about the work of the Country Education Foundation of Australia.

Percy and Country Education Foundation of Boorowa Chairman Justin Fleming wants to make sure every student, no matter what their background, can achieve their goals.

After passing his vet checks on Sunday, Percy has set about his journey along with teams of community members pushing him, quite literally, along as he makes his way to Orange.
