The Des Moines Register reports that Des Moines will hold a Bacon Festival (their first) on March 1st.

From the article: “Split the vein of an Iowan and bacon drippings ooze out. It is well-known that pigs far outnumber humans in Iowa…”  Honestly, if this becomes an annual event I will do my best to attend soon.  This year is out unless I have someone sponsor my trip.  I’d use miles to get there but the rental car, gas, and hotel just are not in my budget for this year.

Read the article.  It has lots of bacon bits in it including the percentage of restaurants nation-wide that include bacon on their menu.
