2nd Annual Baconfest Held in Juneau, Alaska

STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

It includes a hog-calling contest, a bacon eating contest and special dishes like bacon caramel brownies. The star attraction was a bacon bustier worn by a model. Its creator said the only real problem here was keeping her cats away while she made it.
