Tyler Richton & The High Bank Boys performed at World Pork Expo. 🎶 After two full days of activity across the grounds, attendees closed it out with a night of live country music and great company. It was a well-earned opportunity to relax, enjoy the music, and wrap up WPX on a high note. #WPX26 #WorldPorkExpo Sponsored by @Alltech, NOVUS, @KeminInd, @PigTek_CTB, @choretime, and @JygaTech_Gestal.
