Bacon. It’s delicious. And we’d all eat a pile of it if no one was watching. It deserves to be celebrated.
Wild Goose Creative is the official Columbus location for the event that is sweeping the nation: BaconCamp! This delicious event is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment about bacon. It is an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction from participants who are the main actors of the event. It is community driven and everyone is encouraged to participate by presenting (food, art, demo), judging, or volunteering.
We will be holding a Bacon Cooking contest and a Bacon Art/Craft contest. We will have prizes available from amazing Columbus vendors and restaurants, and illustrious judges from Rosendales, CMH Gourmand, Spindle Studios, and many more! If you are interested in submitting your Bacon Recipe or Bacon Art, please visit our Bacon Site here.
BaconCamp is not a spectator sport. Join us on August 1st from 2-6 at Wild Goose Creative! Bring your bacon food and art, wear your bacony best, and come ready to feast on beautiful bacon creations!
I support BaconCamp.
Bacon is the new black and the old Good.
When did bacon become so trendy? I’ve loved bacon all along and now there are all these other fans. I feel like I did in high school when my favorite band got ‘discovered’ by everyone else. But alas, I’m all grown up now and will refrain from ditching bacon for a less popular food item.
You can also see http://www.baconcamp.org/BaconCamp-Columbus for more information :) That has the times and dates etc. Submit your creation today!!
I imagine that this event is going to smell awesome. :D
