Bacon fest tickets on sale

Hold on to your hogs: the Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival is back! This year, we're sponsors.

Start your Saturday, February 28, off right by sampling breakfast's finest side dish in all of its glory. Registration starts at 10 a.m. and the day of bacon education, tasting and awareness culminates in a 3:30 p.m. bacon-eating contest. That means you'll have enough time to wring out your arteries before the Andrew Bird concert.

Last year, tickets went faster than a plate full of Neiman Ranch strips, so get yours ($32.50 each) today at blueribbonbaconfestival.com.
