A Pep Rally for the Whole Neighborhood
The Downtown Fayetteville Coalition and Experience Fayetteville are behind this family-friendly tailgate and pep rally, officially called Rumble in the Ramble: Hogs & Dogs, done in partnership with the University of Arkansas and Fayetteville High School spirit programs.

Food and drinks are on hand the whole time.

Ten Teams, One Wing Title
Ten local teams are facing off in the Hogs and Dogs Wing Competition, each working with 2,000 wings to compete for Best Flavor, Most Heat, Most Creative, and Best All-Around. Once the awards are handed out, you can buy wings from each team. Every purchase supports Fayetteville High School Spirit.
