The Benton County Fair will once again host Bacon Buddies ® in the Swine Arena on Friday, June 21 at 3:00 p.m.

Persons with an intellectual and/or developmental disability up to age 23 are paired with one or two youth mentors and a pig. The Bacon Buddies ® participants will have the opportunity to experience showing a pig.

The judge will assess how the mentors, participant and pig work together as a cohesive unit. All participants will receive a reward and t-shirt.

Parents and/or guests are encouraged to watch the show from the bleachers.
