The thing about bacon is that it sucks the air out of a conversation. Once someone says "bacon," your eyes glaze over and you're suddenly transported to a delicious place. So, no one ever asks us, "Exactly what will happen at BaconFest?" And that's because -- does it matter? As long as bacon is there, everything else will work itself out, right?

This is mostly true. If you just wandered out to Union Plaza on Sunday, April 17, and did nothing but eat bacon-infused treats from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., no one could ever blame you. BUT, there will be lots of other fun things to do and see, and it shall truly be magnificent.

Don't deny yourself bacon-y magnificence!
