Baconfest is back!

On Sunday, August 4 you can satisfy your salty urges with all kinds of bacon creations.

It is amazing how many varieties of bacon treats can be created by the chefs at Evergreen Park.

You have tried the chocolate-covered bacon and the bacon crème brulee … now it’s time to taste what the chefs have in store for you in 2024.

The tasting starts at 12:30 p.m. and continues until 3:30 p.m.

The day is part of The Horses At Evergreen Park with first post at 1:15 p.m. There is no admission fee to enter, but each bacon item will cost you a small amount.

Proceeds from the day will go towards the County of Grande Prairie Firefighters Association to help them with their benevolent activities in the community.
