Bacon Lovers Flock To Iowa Festival Celebrating the Meat

Some people like bacon, some people love bacon. And some people really, really love bacon. 

A festival in Iowa over the weekend — the Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival — drew thousands of bacon lovers, according to a Huffington Post report, complete with photos of a dress made out of bacon that was worn by the woman crowned the festival's queen. 

Yes, that's right. A dress made of bacon. And it's a must-see. 

The festival, which celebrated its sixth year Saturday and grew from a small event held in a bar, is so popular that the 8,000 tickets available for the event sold out in less than four minutes. More than 10,000 pounds of bacon was served up during the event, including bacon-flavored cupcakes and chocolate-dipped bacon. 

The Huffington Post has photos and videos from the event. And we've got some bacon recipes from the social media platform Pinterest.
