So when one of my dearest friends surprised me with tickets to the Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival for my birthday, you can imagine my excitement. Yes there were approximately 17,000 people in attendance that also have a love for all things bacon but once we got there and started tasting all the deliciousness it felt like we were the only ones in the room.
Four levels of bacon fun at the convention center- we sampled: bacon donuts, grilled cheese with bacon, bacon ice cream, cookie dough bacon balls, bacon s'mores, bacon caramel, bacon toffee, bacon and pineapple, bacon marshmallows, bacon chocolate covered strawberries, bacon wrapped pork wing, bacon corn dog, a donut filled with bacon ice cream/dipped in chocolate and rolled in bacon, bacon wrapped cinnamon roll, bacon crab rangoon, bacon chipotle pesto, bacon chips, candied bacon, bacon baklava, grilled piece of cheese with maple bacon syrup (my favorite!) and many many strips of free bacon.
Wow. Typing all that out, it sounds like I need an intervention. Or a weekly Weight Watcher meeting at the very least.
The Elton John/Billy Joel cover bands amped up the fun and Reagan had fun going through all my freebies- sunglasses, stickers, t-shirts, koozies, and a cute back pack. The best part was spending the day with my girls- making memories, laughing til our sides hurt. Oh.... BACON!
The pig had a grip!
This was a real chunk of bacon and it was heavy!

We only have eyes for bacon.
Can't wait for next year!
