Front Porch Fighter: Baconfest!

Baconfest!

I already have some plans today, involving friends and the mountain. But if you don't, and you see this in time, and you are not a vegan, and you happen to like bacon, and you are in the local area.....

The first BACONFEST that I have ever heard of is being held at the Reid Park Band shell today.

Yes, at $30 bucks a head, it is a little pricey. But if you have priced quality bacon lately, maybe it wont seem like so much. And, you get to eat and celebrate bacon!

Here are the details. I think I will see if I can cook up some bacon for brunch!

BACONFEST!

What's in a Name?

Since a few have asked, "Why the name, 'Front Porch Fighter' ?", I will take a stab at answering it.

In times past, the predominant feature of most houses was the front porch. It was right out there in front and it used to be a gathering place for people from the neighborhood. Friends could come over and hang out, lovers could swing on the porch swing and moms would entertain with lemonade. The front porch was a place to get to know others and it signified a willingness and a desire to be in community.

The predominant feature on many homes built today is the garage. The garage is a place where you can pull your car in without anyone else having to talk to you or interrupt your schedule as you retreat into your private sanctuary. To me, the garage in front signifies a desire to live my own life and a kind of disconnect from the rest of the world.

While I appreciate some privacy and sanctuary, I feel that all too often, we are disconnected from the rest of the world and have lost a sense of community, which the home styles reflect. So, I am an advocate of the front porch....at least metaphorically speaking.

Hence, the name Front Porch Fighter.
