While Greg and Rodrick were wandering around, they came across a tent, and something big was going on; it was a Foulest Footwear contest. While waiting in line to participate, both of them were arguing about who should get the prize, which led to a compromise at the end of their argument. Rodrick wins the contest and it is sent to the national competition and he earns a free butter on a stick because of the coupon he won. Greg decided and told Rodrick that he can have the prize to himself because the thought of eating more butter made Greg feel slightly nauseous.

They win a live baby pig and the judge wasn't allowed to have it returned to him despite attempts by his mother to tell him that they didn't want the pig. They later drive away.
