Bacon Buddies^® gives individuals who have intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (Buddies) the opportunity to take a pig into the show ring. Their mentors include 4-H and FFA youth who have volunteered to share that show ring experience right along with them.

In 2022, the show returned for a third year at the Iowa State Fair—and we invite YOU to create that same opportunity locally! Click the link below for everything you need to plan a Bacon Buddies^® event at your county fair.
