Food, Food Artisans

The Last Day of Camp

Camp Bacon 2015 wound down yesterday with the Bacon Street Fair at the Ann Arbor Sunday Artisan Market in Kerrytown. The event is free, although we suggest a donation to Washtenaw County 4H, one of our favorite good works organizations.

The Street Fair featured booths staffed with folks from most of the Zingerman’s businesses, as well as a couple of the speakers from the Camp Bacon Main Event who were pulling double-duty (thanks Fred and Tony!). There was plenty of bacon available for sampling (thanks to Nueske’s and the Zingerman’s Deli!), crunchy Peanut Brittle Bacon Bark from Zingerman’s Candy Manufactory, gelato samples from Zingerman’s Creamery, face-painting for the kids (thanks Britney!), and much more. Despite the imminent threat of rain, the showers held off until after the last of the vendors had packed up. It’s been an amazing week of events, and we were a bit sad to see it end. But now it’s time to plan for Camp Bacon 2016! 

Here are some photo highlights from the event:
