A look back at the origin of Easton’s Bacon Fest
Bacon Fest has survived and thrived for 15 years, and it doesn’t seem to be sizzling down. But how did the event first start?. Debuting in 2012 and postponed a week due to Hurricane Sandy, what was originally known as Easton Farmers’ Market’s first Bacon Fest rounded up approximately 200 people and 16 vendors on a Saturday in Centre Square.

Colonel Robert Hooper House | Lehigh Valley Landmarks
On April 28, 1779, a man in Easton, Pennsylvania, sat down to write to a friend. He had an army to supply, with wheat to buy, wagons to gather, and soldiers who could not wait. But the line that survives is about fish. “Mrs. Hooper,” he wrote, “has been collecting Shad for two weeks.” It is a small, domestic detail. It tells you this was not a man passing through. He was Colonel Robert Lettis Hooper Jr.. The house where he lived and worked still stands at 501 Fifth and Northampton Streets and it is the oldest house within Easton’s city limits.
