Hudson Valley ‘Bacon Olympics’ Kicks Off Thursday Morning

If there's any food that's worthy of an Olympic sport, it would be bacon. And this Thursday you could compete for the ultimate honor of Beer Olympian.

The Boris & Robyn Show will be celebrating the Beer, Bourbon and Bacon festival that will be happening at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds on Saturday by hosting a live four-hour broadcast at the Crooked Rooster in Poughkeepsie this Thursday morning.

From 6am to 10am listeners are invited to the Crooked Rooster on Route 55 in Poughkeepsie for free breakfast and coffee and a chance to score VIP tickets to Beer, Bourbon and Bacon.

The Boris & Robyn Show will be hosting bacon challenges and asking bacon trivia questions for your chance to be a VIP at the festival. Special guests will also be stopping by with samples of the two other items available at Saturday's festival; namely beer and bourbon.

The Crooked Rooster will also be preparing a special bacon-inspired menu for those who want to stick around for a full, sit-down breakfast.

The Crooked Rooster is located at 399 Manchester Road (Route 55) in Poughkeepsie.
