Boston's "Bacon & Beer Festival" Is A Sizzling Foaming "Squeal & Swill" Success!
By Rocco 'Boss Hog' Loosbrock
This Saturday, April 24 was Boston's inaugural celebration of what is planned to become a regular, cherished annual even, the official "2010 Boston Bacon & Beer Festival," a celebration of bacon, beer, music and art, appropriately held at the historic "Power Station" in the SoWa district of the South End of Boston.
This is one of the coolest, hippest most happening locations for the Boston art, music and event scene as well as where the ever popular "Open Market" and "Antique Market" are regularly held.
The event was a huge success, proudly presented by the good people over at "SoWa Sundays" and "@EatBoston", which is associated with "Where To Eat In Boston".
This citywide celebration of bacon, beer, music and art was a perfect opportunity for Boston citizenry to reconnect, party and cheer "Here Comes The Sun," after a long, cold lonely winter. The event is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a great day of Baco-Mania, while helping to raise money for such worthy and notable charities as "Share Our Strength", "Community Servings", South End Youth Baseball and The Juniper Fund.
People enjoyed "Everything Bacon," from bacon chips, bacon popcorn, bacon pretzels, bacon scones, bacon sandwiches, bacon-stuffed buns, bacon cupcakes, bacon brownies, bacon milkshakes and chocolate covered bacon, just to name a few of the daring and delectably delicious and delightful delicacies.
