BaconCamp is almost here!

It's a Bacon Apple Pie! Can you handle it?!

BaconCamp Columbus is nearly upon us! You can almost smell the bacon wafting in the area.

Join Wild Goose Creative this Saturday, August 1st, from 1-4 p.m. at our space for the Columbus edition of BaconCamp. This is a national event that celebrates everything bacon-related, and Wild Goose Creative has the privilege of playing Columbus host.

Here's a taste of our lineup:

BACON FOOD: We'll have bacon goodies from a diverse range of local foodies, plus some experts such as folks from The Hills Market, Sassafras Bakery, and Zach Briggs of the Columbus Foodcast. Some of the dishes will include bacon-wrapped pickles, bacon ice cream, bacon mustard, bacon apple pie (see above!), and word around the skillet is that the folks from Bacon Salt have donated to the cause.

BACON ARTS & CRAFTS: Local crafters are mobilizing to capture the spirit of bacon in arts and crafts. From what we've heard of the entries, we have a knitted bacon scarf, bacon roses, bacon letter press, bacon photography, and bacon jewelry.

BACON EXPERTS: The food and the crafts will be judged by a distinguished panel, including:

Patrick Crawford of Spindle Studios

Liz Lessner of Dirty Franks, Betty's, and more

Jim Ellison of CMH Gourmand

Chris Dillman of Rosendale's

Olivia Bratitch of Wholly Craft!

We'll start right at 1 with some bacon slam poetry, then the foodies and crafters will present their work, and the judges will judge. The cover is only $5, and you'll get to enjoy all sorts of food and drink samples. The first 50 people in the door get a hand-made bacon pin.

Those details again:
