Blue Ribbon Bacon Tour! In Keystone, CO, June 24-26

Cancel your other plans and book a flight to Colorado for "access to over 3,000 pounds of delicious bacon and bacon inspired treats from a variety of bacon purveyors. The weekend-long event will also feature the BRBF’s famous bacon lecture series delivered by some of the nation’s most brilliant bacon minds."

Mark Mathews, Executive Director of KNC, explains, “The Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival is highly regarded as the leader in providing bacon enthusiasts with the opportunity to explore and express their love for bacon in a fun, imaginative and supportive atmosphere. We’re excited about this new partnership and can’t wait to play host to thousands of bacon lovers from across the mountain states.”

Brooks Reynolds, co-founder of the Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival, adds, “As far as I’m concerned, if you haven’t sampled a variety of bacon at 9,000 feet above sea level, you haven’t lived.”

In response to the announcement, bacon aficionado Neil Pederson of Golden, CO was overwhelmed with emotion, “If words could only describe how I’m feeling right now. As a native Iowan, I miss the many different types of bacon available at local meat lockers and pig farms. At times, I long for an applewood smoked bacon from a pure bred Duroc pig. Or a few slices of dry-cured bacon from a true Berkshire breed. A tear comes to my eye, just thinking about the opportunity that lies before me. OHHHH, BACON!”

A limited number of Blue Ribbon Bacon Packages are available for $30 online now, while supplies last. Click here to buy your tickets. The package entitles the holder to admission to the three-day event, a commemorative hat, a free beer, a beer koozie, bacon samples at the Bacon Showcase, live music, and bacon educational lectures.
