Meet Fred the friendly pig who's currently in custody at the Aurora Animal Shelter. He caused all kinds of chaos in our community last week, making national and even international headlines along the way. AuroraTV gets an up-close look at this precocious porker and finds out what his future holds. Also on this week's show, a huge honor for Aurora and our ongoing efforts to save lives through organ donation; Aurora's Charles Burrell Arts Campus honors the school's namesake as he celebrates his 103rd birthday; an Aurora police officer does double duty as a talented trombone player; and proceeds from this year's Festival of Wreaths will help Aurora's iconic Cactus Motel sign. Those stories and many more this week on Aurora Now.
