Baconfest Coming to Easton Saturday
Easton Farmers' Market will celebrate beloved pork product Saturday.
Americans love bacon, to the point that the notion of a global "bacon shortage" was national news a few weeks ago.
Whether or not that shortage materializes, you'll find plenty of bacon at the Easton Farmers' Market Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., as it celebrates its inagural Baconfest.
The day will feature a "Chopped" style cook-off between four local restaurants -- Two Rivers Brewing Co., LEAF, Megs & Mads and Valenca -- with chefs preparing bacon-themed appetizers, entrees and desserts.

The festival was originally scheduled for last Saturday, but was moved because several vendors were still without power due to Hurricane Sandy.
