Welcome

Welcome to all the information on BACONFEST 2018 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 or vegan, please indicate this on the menu sign-up page so others can be aware when meal planning.  If you are debating about coming, go ahead and post any questions on the discussion page. 
​
Further Questions?
Just post your question on the discussion page.  Thank you!
