Proceeds from the event will be will help cover the costs of refurbishing the outside of the local youth centre and a portion will go toward the community's BMX park.
Great Saskatchewan Bacon Festival organizer Scott Kearns explains ticket purchasers have the opportunity to sample a wide range of dishes, the only stipulation being they must include bacon in some way, shape or form.

The food vendors are from home cooks to local restaurants to, gold plate chefs and they compete for a trophy and a chance to go on to the Canadian Food Championships.
It's amazing food.
It's unbelievable, you won't just get a stick of bacon.
Some of the recipes are absolutely amazing.
This is family friendly event which is unlike a lot of bacon events and we have everything from toddlers to very senior citizens attend.
It's a great draw for our community, Kipling.
We draw 62 percent of people from out of town so it helps our local businesses as well.

Kearns says, in addition to the great food, the event features a bouncy slide and face painting for the kids and live musical entertainment.
He notes ticket sales are capped at 300 and are available at several local business or they can be ordered by calling 306 736-2442 or 306 736-9124 and additional information can be found by searching "Great Saskatchewan Bacon Festival" on Facebook.
