Festival organizers have extended the celebration internationally through the Blue Ribbon Bacon Tour.
For the price of an admission ticket, each attendee has been entitled to a T-shirt, a choice of bacon samples, and a koozie (an insulation-wrapping for a canned beverage, like beer or soda pop).
Justification for the added cost was to reduce lines for bacon goods vendors bring in and cook.
The Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival was founded in 2008 by Brooks Reynolds, an Iowa realtor,[4] on National Pig Day, 1 March 2008.
In the style of Christopher Guest or Sasha Cohen, the film is a mockumentary, utilizing actors to interact in the real world, as a mash-up style to tell each storyline, and overall transport viewers to the wild and crazy world of Bacon Wonderland.
