The 6th Annual BACONFEST was held at Nelson Dewey State Park in Cassville, WI on May 20-22, 2022. There were 12 in attendance + 1 cat. Six returners and six newbies. We had campers drive from Wisconsin and Iowa. BACONFEST T-shirts were a new addition this year.
This was the first year where hammock stands were necessary.
There were only three good hammock trees available and we used them to set up Swung’s new Haven Hybrid hammock so we could inspect it.
On Saturday morning, most of the group walked aboard the Pride of Cassville Ferry to take the 20 minute upstream ride over to the Iowa landing. ‘
Many toured the park and took in the grand sites overlooking the Mighty Mississippi River from atop the cliffs.
Our winners of Bacon Bite Night were:
Best Savory Dish – Franklin’s Bacon Stuffed Rangoons
Best Sweet Dish – Canoeski’s Sisters’ Neuski’s Bacon Old Fashioned Drinks
The Jayne Skeff Honorable Mention Award – MetalMan’s Carrot Cake with Bacon Crumble
And we welcome the newest member (and youngest) member of the Red Bra Club. Welcome, Anna! We support you!
It POURED rained while driving there, but we fully enjoyed bonfires both nights. The tradition of raining at BACONFEST is once again!
Friday: 69° / 46°
Saturday: 63° / 38°

There is a possibility this will be another hammock stand only hang.
