CUDAHY, Wis. – Patrick Cudahy is proud to return as a sponsor of the third-annual BACONFEST MKE presented by 102.9 The HOG. Rooted in southeast Wisconsin, Patrick Cudahy has stayed true to the Midwesterners who demand its one-of-a-kind flavor. For 125 years, it has supported several of the special events and celebrations associated with Milwaukee, and is honored to be a part of this year's best-tasting festival.
BACONFEST MKE takes place on February 16th at the iconic Harley-Davidson Museum. Those attending the festival can expect to experience bacon-inspired recipes from Milwaukee's best chefs and restaurants, cooking demos and, of course, plenty of delicious Patrick Cudahy Sweet Apple-Wood Smoked Bacon samples. Patrick Cudahy will also hand out coupons and recipes at its display and everyone who stops by can capture their memories in the famous Patrick Cudahy photo booth.
Since establishing itself in 1888, Patrick Cudahy has been involved in the greater Milwaukee community. It has sponsored the Wisconsin State Fair's "Bacon Lover's Day" for the past 16 years and brought events to the area such as the "Patrick Cudahy Race for the Bacon 5k" and the "Say Hey Patrick Cudahy" photo booth mobile tour. In 2013, Patrick Cudahy, part of the John Morrell Food Group, a subsidiary of Smithfield Foods, commemorated its 125th anniversary with a year-long celebration that paid homage to Wisconsin with a multi-faceted social media, advertisement, promotional and public relations program.
