August 2, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the second year in a row, the team at South Burnett Child Safety have taken out the BaconFest decorated window competition.<\/p>\n

Their office, in Haly Street, features flying pigs, pig cutouts, bacon-based affirmations and lots and lots of pink. There’s even pig trotters leading up to the front door.<\/p>\n

The winners of the competition were announced on Tuesday night at the Kingaroy Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s (KCCI) August meet’n’greet.<\/p>\n

The KCCI-sponsored competition attracted 20 entries from across the Kingaroy CBD.<\/p>\n

President Damien Martoo said Child Safety won a $250 BaconFest merchandise pack plus tickets to BaconFest’s headline Wine & Swine event.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The judges could not split the second placegetters, so it was declared a tie between Kingaroy Floorworld, in Haly Street, and South Burnett Hearing, in Kingaroy Street.<\/p>\n

Each will receive a $150 merchandise pack and tickets into the festival grounds.<\/p>\n

The meet’n’greet also featured an official “switch on” of the BaconFest lights around town.<\/p>\n

South Burnett Regional Council is getting behind BaconFest by switching all the feature lights in the CBD (ie. the footpath bulbs and the “town towers”) to pink.<\/p>\n

Endeavour Kitchen also “hogged” the limelight.<\/p>\n

It provided a taste test for its Spicy Bacon Sauce, which will be a secret ingredient in BaconFest’s new Baconator Burger.<\/p>\n

The meet’n’greet was hosted by Push Pull Marketing PR & Events – part of the BaconFest team – in the Hector Munro Lane, off Kingaroy Street, which runs beside their business.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The raffle on the night was a $500 advertising package offered by Push Pull Marketing’s Sheena Lindholm.<\/p>\n

The lucky winner was Shaun Heirdsfield, from Field Design, a new website design business which has just opened in Kingaroy.<\/p>\n
