More then a decade ago, the Sabinal Lions Club was looking for a way to raise money for charities, local community needs and the many organizations that they support. That's how the Wild Hog Catching Contest was born. Over the past decade, the festival has grown and evolved drawing larger crowds each year.

Excitement of the wild hog chase, admiration of arts and crafts shows, thrill of games and rides, dining experience with variety of ethnic and local foods are all made possible by the volunteers of Lions Club, Sabinal.
