Kevin Bacon needed help getting home. So the group lured him with Oreos and other treats to help get him moving.
"He ate an entire refrigerator worth of food and a whole bag of marshmallows," Molgaard said.
At one point, kids hopped on his back to move him along.
"As a fellow pig, we offered him a job application and I think he turned me down," Tritschler said.
One mile, two and a half hours and a job offer later, Kevin Bacon made it to his pen.
