(Chelsea Update would like to thank Eric Keaton for the information in this story.)

If you like pig, er, treasure, hunts, be on the lookout for the Chelsea United Way pigs, which are hiding in a number of locations throughout town.

When you’re in Smokehouse 52, for instance, look for the Grace Clinic Pig

Or, when you’re having a beer at the Chelsea Alehouse Brewery, somewhere inside are both the Senior Center and Faith in Action pigs.

Or, if you’re making a deposit at Chelsea State Bank, look for the United Way pig.

So, when you spot one, here’s what to do.

“I want to encourage people to find the pigs then post on Facebook what pig they found and where, tagging Chelsea United Way when they do,” says Eric Keaton, president of the Chelsea United Way board of directors.

Currently,  there are pigs at the following locations:

  • Flagstar Bank
  • Chelsea Alehouse
  • Chelsea Lanes
  • Smokehouse 52
  • Chelsea State Bank

Keaton would like to invite other businesses that would like to host a pig to contact him at [email protected].
