Bacon Lovers Day 🥓 – I love bacon! It is one of my favorite breakfast foods. Plus some facts about bacon. #BaconLoversDay

This day is held each year on August 20. This day was founded by Residents of Craig in Bradford, MA in 2000.

How do you like your bacon cooked? Crunchy or chewy? I like my chewy. I do not like it crunchy.

You can Fry It, Bake It, Candy It, Omelet it and much more!

I like bacon anytime and could eat it anytime too!

Now, Just Bacon Day is held annually on December 30.
