- After visiting with Norm, I'm now back in the town of Fairmont and I can't help wondering why this charming Minnesota town has so many hogs on the loose.

Okay.

They're not real hogs, but statues of hogs people may not believe me, so I need to get some up close pictures.

- So you like my pig, my hog?

- I do.

- I'm Jeff.

- Jeff, I'm Doug.

Nice to meet you.

Nice - To meet you.

Doug.

- Tell me the story of these.

As I drove into town, I saw three or four of these out in front of other businesses and what's the deal?

Well, there - Are a lot of 'em throughout the county.

There's in fact 88 in the county right now and 15 more scheduled to go in front of different businesses throughout the county.

We're a small group of volunteers that started this with the goal of spotlighting our businesses to feature our local artists and to honor our pork industry.

'cause I don't know if you know this, but we're the pork capital of the state of Minnesota.

- So your hog, as I can see here, represents movies, theater.

- I am.

I'm a film and and movie buff and seemed appropriate to do something that honored that type of thing.

And so I made it according to that.

- So this is your business here?

- Yes.

It's called Our Story Studios.

Where local television program that spotlights local businesses.

- Well, Jeff, I'm doing a program on collections, unique collections.

And what I love about the hog story, it's a community collection.

- Absolutely.

And so many people are involved with a hundred businesses involved and 24 local artists.

It is definitely a community project.

But you're doing what?

A story on what?

- On interesting collections.

People that collect things and the stories about their collection.

Oh, - Why don't you come in and take a look?

I think you might be surprised.

- Jeff, what is this?

- Well, this is where I shoot a lot of our TV show, but this is mostly part of my collection.

We've incorporated the collection of different things throughout the whole building that are pretty much my interest.

- But Jeff, when I look around here, I see old TVs, radios, film That is your interest.

- Entertainment, old entertainment is my interest.

- Old entertainment.

- Doug, you might like this room, but now I'm gonna show you my mancave.

I think you'll like that.

Well, I've been collecting for probably 35 years.

I used to own a poster and art print company that specializes in original movie poster and that was my bread and butter for many years.

And then after that, this evolved into a personal collection, basically anything that reminds me of my youth or the, the history of film and television.

'cause that's my hobby.

- So this is more than a collection really?

This is really personal to you.

I can tell.

Yeah.

- It's pretty much everything that reminds me of my youth.

You know, whether it be the telephones, the TVs, the television show memorabilia.

Film memorabilia is just all things that I like.

Some of them are very valuable, some have no value at all, and it makes no difference.

I, I treasure some of the ones that have no value more than some of the ones that have some value.

- That's a true collector.

It really is.

Don't so well, I love it.

- Thank you so much for stopping.
