The purple apron that the FDP Federal Councillor wore for her piglet appearance was a gift from former Federal Councillor Viola Amherd (center). She had worn the "Just a Girl who loves Pigs" apron at the opening last year.

This year's Federal Councillor piglet is named after the St. Gallen singer and presenter Paola Felix, who turned 75 on Sunday. Piglet Paola was born on the same day.
