Will you be bacon in the sun?

It will be a savory bacon-off at the 8th annual Beach, Bacon and Brewfest at Lincoln City’s Chinook Winds Casino Resort this Saturday, July 13.

The Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce will organize charity cooking teams, who will be competing and serving up bacon bites for guests to enjoy. All bacon bite proceeds go to local charities, who will also compete for the ultimate bragging rights of People’s and Judge’s choice champions.

Tasting enthusiasts will also enjoy samplings from more than 12 Pacific Northwest microbrews and ciders from Arch Rock, Bend Cider, Breakside Brewery, Fort George, Good Life, Ninkasi, Pelican Brewing along with some new faces: Blake’s Beverage Co., Coldfire Brewery, Deluxe Brewing Co., Geloso Beverage Group and Sunriver Brewing.

The $30 entry, for those 21 and older, includes $5 in free slot play, five charity food tastings, beer tastings, live music throughout the event and the opportunity to buy more bacon bites. Tickets for designated drivers are $20.

Charity teams include Neighbors for Kids, Lincoln City Elks, Lincoln City Kiwanis, Friends of Lincoln City Parks and Recreation, Taft Tiger Boosters, Oceana Family Literacy, Habitat for Humanity, Salmon River Grange, Lincoln County Toys for Tots, CASA and Backpack for Kids.

Live music will be provided early in the event by Ty Curtis and the day will finish with music from the Hellcats.

The event runs from noon to 6 pm at Chinook Winds Casino Resort, located at 1777 NW 44th Street. For more information, go to chinookwindscasino. com or call 1-888-CHINOOK (244- 6665)
