That is so beautiful man!

I want to go to there.

I just wiped a tear from my eye.
That is the best place in the world.
*sniff* long live bacon!

wow.

Ah, the bacon festival, pride of Des Moines. Des Moines doesn't have much to brag about, only what counts.

Can't we count the Iowa State Fair in our bragging rights? Or is that more "Iowa" rather than Des Moines?

While I agree your festival IS awesome, my festival is St. Patrick's Day.
If only we could take the essence of yours and make is as popular as mine. Sure would beat the green food colouring in things!

When you have bacon, you don't need to brag. You can let your bacon do the talking.

I prefer not to associate too closely with the state fair. Boycotted it for the first few years I lived here even. It is indeed very Iowa, if not Des Moines, but just a shade too hokey for my tastes. I make the obligatory visit for a couple of hours one day a year with my wife and son, and call it good. My visit is almost out of duty, not out of excitement.

Beer and Oreo cookies (or any chocolate for that matter) is very good. I have never had beer and bacon, although a bar across the street from one place I worked served that in the morning, called it "Suds and eggs" and was very popular with people getting off night shift. While the food was very good, I never had it with beer as I was going TO work.
