Introduction
Welcome to all the information on the 4th Annual BACONFEST 2020 camping weekend. Rather than have information spread across multiple social media sites and discussion forums, this website has been created so all information is in one place.
Why BACONFEST?
#1 - A couple years ago a group of us camping thought it would be awesome to eat bacon for an entire weekend. (We were young)
#2 - A lot of people LOVE bacon and it's good with almost everything!
#3 - Why not?
Is this event for you?
This event is for everyone who likes to camp and eat bacon. If you are vegetarian, vegan, or kosher please indicate this on the menu sign-up page so others can be aware when meal planning. If you are debating about coming because you don't eat bacon, contact Karla "with a k" to discuss. While we eat bacon with every meal, there are ways to enjoy the weekend without eating a single slice.
Further Questions?
Just contact the host, Karla "with a k". Thank you!
