All of this fun, food and beer is only $20 a ticket for those 21 and over. Your entry includes $5 in free slot play, beer tastings, live music and the opportunity to purchase $1 bacon bits for tastings. The event is from Noon to 6pm with live music throughout the event.
Charities will be creating tasty bacon recipes in competition to be named the best bacon booth at the event. The attending public will purchase “bacon bit” tickets at $1.00 to sample the bacon creations. The Non-Profit groups will keep all the “bacon bit” money for their organization. Up to twenty breweries will give out samples to the public of their brew or cider lines throughout the day as part of the ticket price!
