This weekend's most anticipated event...
**Blue Ribbon Bacon Tour, a much talked about event kicks off in Phoenix, Arizona this Sunday, June 7th from 1 PM to 5 PM. The price is $35 in advance and $40 at the door. This price includes a signed book, food, and two drink tickets. This event is being held at Renee's Grand Tavern. Meet the author of bacon blog, a blog that has attracted people from all over the world. This blog began as a joke, but Heather Lauer soon discovered the "bacon nation" and landed a book deal through it all. You know your bacon obsessed when you make a comment like this, "Even the left over grease is good to use..." or "I've experimented with it by putting it in brownies," both are definite health risks, taking a major toll on your body!
