It’s a local festival with plenty of sizzle and what could sizzle more than a dress made entirely of bacon? The Des Moines Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival, now in its 6th year, has somehow become hip. The festival doubles in size every year, and this weekend’s 8,000 tickets sold out in three minutes. The Des Moines Register reports that if you stretched out this year’s five tons of bacon that will be served at BaconFest, it would span 20 miles.
