Talk about pigging out. The Blue Ribbon Bacon Tour returns to Keystone Resort’s River Run Village June 27-28 with bacon, bacon and more bacon. In total, there will be 3,000 lbs. of bacon in every shape, size and variety.

To help enjoy all of that bacon, here’s a list of our favorite things to do, eat and see at the 5^th annual Blue Ribbon Bacon Tour:

Drink bacon. That’s right. Add a side of bacon plus some celery, olives, lemon, lime and maybe some more bacon and you’ve created the best, most yummy Bloody Mary. In fact, Keystone is boasting the largest Bloody Mary bar in all of Colorado at the Blue Ribbon Bacon Tour.
Sweet bacon. If you love bacon, imagine it with chocolate. Can you say yum and yum? Make sure to sample some of the sweeter bacon bites at the festival like bacon s’mores, bacon ice cream, donuts sprinkled with bacon and chocolate-covered bacon.
Get a PhD in Bacon. If you’re a true bacon connoisseur, the Bacon Education Center is the place where you can immerse yourself in all things bacon. Smell, eat and learn about the sizzling, tasty meat. You can get even get a diploma from Bacon U! – the only “college” of its kind, providing instruction in bacon fellowship, bacon preparation, bacon processing and the bacon arts. Plus, it’s free.
