Bacon Gets Its Due

On Tuesday, May 24 at 7:05 pm ET, the Richmond Flying Squirrels will present their best promotion yet: A Tribute to Bacon.

 

Maximize the baconess of the evening with this bacon 411:

1. Add bacon to any concession item for $1. To funnel cake? Done. To your soda? Done. 
2. All bacon fans in attendance will receive bacon coupons. Bacon during the game. Bacon after the game. 
3. Last name Bacon? You're in luck: discount!
4. There will be "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" contests. The suspense has my bacon in a wad.
5. The first pitch will be thrown by Kevin Bacon (a local detective, not the actor).
6. Buy one/get one ticket for every KRAFT Singles package wrapper(s) you bring to the game! Deux guests for 1/2 the bacon. 
7. And last but not least:

Bacon Fireworks!

Someone needs to infuse fireworks with bacon grease. Or pack the pyrotechnics with bacon pieces that scatter and rain down on the hungry, bacon-frenzied crowd. But for this 2011 tribute, the Richmond Times Dispatch will present a fireworks show set to "bacon-themed music." Benjamin Hill of MiLB.com wants to know "What could this possibly mean? Is this a whole genre of music I've somehow been oblivious to? I demand answers, Richmond!" We'll all find out Tuesday night. 

 

Bacon Duds

I suggest that you enhance the evening by dressing to impress with bacon-themed apparel. Perhaps one of the following with help you express your inner bacon:

 

Bacon Hat

Bacon T-Shirt

Bacon Tuxedo

See you Tuesday with my bacon on! You'll find me driving my Bacon-mobile:

OK. I wish. But I will be driving my ultra-cool minivan with its glorious, brand-spanking-new, bacon-inspired license plate:

Hey! Life is short. Lean into bacon!
