Pork Rind Heritage Festival

06/06/2026

The tradition you've all been waiting for is BACK... Bessie Bingo!

Join us Saturday, June 13 at 4 PM as Bessie takes center stage and decides someone's fate... one step at a time. 🤣

Will she choose YOUR square? Only Bessie knows.

Don't worry if she's taking her sweet time — there will be plenty of food, entertainment, vendors, and festival fun to keep you busy while she "makes her decision." 💩🎯

🚨 ALL TICKETS ARE SOLD OUT! 🚨

Good luck to everyone playing... and may the odds (and Bessie's digestive system) be ever in your favor.
