On Sept. 14, Lights Out Gallery is sponsoring an all-you-can-eat pig roast at the Wook Nook that will not end until all the pig is gone.

“We are opening our garden space for the Lights Out pig roast,” Jeff Baker, co-owner of the Wook Nook tells the Advertiser Democrat.  “We have a great line up of music in store for our guests.  It’s gonna be a … party!”

Ahead of the feast, Lights Out will hold multi-media art showings and sales at The Carriage House and Gingerbread House on Main Street and at The Wolf & Harp on Pleasant Street. Each location will be open from 3-7 p.m.

The roast – featuring not one but two pigs – is free, with no cover to get in. The Wook Nook’s bar and kitchen with its full menu will be open as well.

Entertainment at the Wook Nook starts at 2:30 p.m. in the beer garden and features musical acts Dudley Dowrong and Cowboy Killers, Space Heater, ENIAM and Bandwich. After 9 p.m. performances will move indoors to the lounge and continue until close.

Baker and his wife Alyssa opened the Wook Nook last fall and it quickly became a popular nightlife gathering place in Norway.

“Our first year has been intrinsically rewarding,” Baker said. “To build something from scratch and create a following around it is the purest form of success. Our perception of growth is akin to running a marathon not a sprint … this type of organic growth is analog, just like the records we like to spin.

“Norway is amazing place to do business. It is more of a symbiotic eco system than competitive. Daniel [Sipe of Lights Out] stopped by the Wook Nook and we a conversation about their block party. The idea sparked, and the rest is history.”
