Zebulon on TV tonight

Downtown Zebulon might get some TV screen time tonight on A&E’s hit show Barter Kings which follows Steve McHugh and Antonio Palazzola as they trade items across the country. The show aires at 10 p.m. and may show clips from when Steve and Antonio filmed at The Oink Joint downtown on Nov. 7. The Barter Kings did not make any trades in Zebulon, but filmed a few segments inside The Oink Joint and outside on the courthouse square as well. The two traders were driving their white truck and towing a motorcycle on a trailer behind them during their visit to Pike County. Antonio said this was the first time Barter Kings traveled to the East Coast to make some trades. He said they just arrived via airplane and were starting their journey to barter up to better items.”We had an opportunity to do some big trades out here, so here we are,” Palazzola said.
