Wright Brand is celebrating its centennial anniversary in the place where it all started: Vernon, Texas. To mark the milestone, the brand is honoring the community with a one-day bacon festival on September 16, 2022, during which Vernon will be officially renamed Bacon City, USA, for the weekend.
The Bacon City, USA festival will commemorate 100 years since Roy Wright and Fay Eggleston mastered the creation of a thicker, fuller-flavored slice of bacon. From the inception of Wright Brand Bacon in the back of their family’s small grocery store, the Vernon community has supported the brand every step of the way.
