A giant float replica of Rachel the Pig was at the center of the market.  Rachel is a bronze piggy bank that guards the main entrance to the market.  For locals, she is a favorite meeting spot at the Market.  Over the years she has collected over $100,000.  The donations benefit the Pike Place Market Foundation which operates a clinic, senior center, day care and low income housing.  All of these facilities are in the market but most visitors never see any of it.
