Mmmmm, Bacon!

bacon-bowl-logo2The inaugural Bacon Bowl, presented by Petit Jean Meats, is just a month away. Saturday, October 26, in Fayetteville, Arkansas at the Northwest Arkansas Mall is the day to see if your personal bacon-inspired dish is worthy of a trip representing the Bacon Bowl at the 6th Annual New Orleans Food Fest. Spots are going fast for the event so sign-up as soon as possible to secure a spot for your entree or dessert.

Bacon Bowl and Petit Jean Meats is supporting Youth Bridge, a local non-profit agency that plays an important role in communities across North Arkansas and gives area young people the confidence, education and interpersonal skills they need to face today’s problems and tomorrow’s challenges.

At the competition you can also take in the Dallas Cowboys Grill Team, who will be on hand offering grilling demonstrations. Reality TV star, Adam Pock from Big Brother Season 13 will be one of the celebrity judges. As a lover of bacon, Adam actually had a bacon-themed wedding and can give some tips you if too are interested in tying the knot “bacon style.”

Other competitions throughout the day include the Great Day Farm Egg Toss and the Petit Jean Meats Pig-Out bacon eating contest.

Tickets go on sale tomorrow, September 27 at the Northwest Arkansas Mall and in Macadoodles in Springdale, Arkansas. For more information visit baconbowl.net.
