The Osceola County Fair (KVLS) has announced the return of Rosaire’s Royal Racers, the fan-favorite racing pigs, from February 14 to 23, 2025, at Osceola Heritage Park. This iconic attraction has been a staple of the fair for years, delighting audiences with its unique blend of humor, excitement, and family-friendly entertainment.
Established in 1988 by Wayne Rosaire, a seventh-generation circus performer, Rosaire’s Royal Racers has become a nationwide sensation. In 1991, Wayne’s daughter, Pamela Rosaire, took over the reins, continuing the family tradition of bringing joy to audiences across the country.
The Racing Experience
The show features pigs racing around a 200-foot aluminum track, completing the course in about seven seconds. Audience members are selected to cheer for individual pigs, and winners receive prizes, adding an interactive element to the fun. The pigs are trained using a reward-based system, often motivated by their favorite treat—cream-filled cookies. This humane training method highlights the intelligence and enthusiasm of these porcine athletes.
A Family Legacy
The Rosaire family boasts a rich history in animal entertainment, spanning eight generations. Their commitment to animal care and audience enjoyment has made their racing pigs a highlight at fairs and events nationwide. The pigs are well-cared-for, with access to private outdoor exercise areas and climate-controlled environments to ensure their comfort during performances.
Don’t miss the chance to witness the excitement of Rosaire’s Royal Racers at this year’s Osceola County Fair. Whether you’re a long-time fan or a first-time attendee, the racing pigs promise a “hog wild” time for all. For more information about the fair and a schedule of events, visit OsceolaCountyFair.com.
