Individuals are invited to attend a Bacon Buddies® informational meeting at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Jan. 12, at the Fayette County Extension Office meeting room, located at 218 South Main Street in Fayette.
Bacon Buddies® was started in 2025 by 2024 Fayette County Fair Queen Mae Wedemeier. The program is designed to provide individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities the opportunity to experience showing a pig in the fair show ring.
The Bacon Buddies® show will return to the 2026 Fayette County Fair. Those interested in serving as mentors or supporting the program in other ways are encouraged to attend the meeting to learn more about how to get involved.
