ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- It's only in its second year, but already it might be the most sizzling event in Rockford... We're talking about Bacon Fest.

And once again this year the event brought in a lot of bacon for the community arts group The Element. And bacon puts the meat in this meet and greet as hundreds filled the Prairie Street Brewhouse in Rockford to sample everything from bacon PB&J, to bacon cocktails.
