Macy’s Pink Pig

Hearthstone House was invited to the sneak peak party for the Macy’s Pink Pig ride at Lenox Square Mall last week. The Pink Pig is an Atlanta tradition at Christmas time and started in 1953 at Rich’s Department Store. Many folks around here have stories of riding the famed Pink Pig as children and now are continuing the tradition by taking their children or grand children. The ride is housed in a huge tent on top of the Macy’s parking deck and is decorated for the holidays in a most unusual way, everything inside is pink and celebrates the life of Priscilla the Pig.  The event was adorable and had a lot cute activities for the children as we waited in line to ride the Pig. There was a pink carpet area where you could take photos, face painting, a coloring station, balloon animals, hula-hooping, and a DJ playing music for the kids. Once inside we rode the pig and then were treated to pink snacks and food. It was a big hit with the girls and we are looking forward to it again. Here are some highlights.
