O'FALLON, IL. - BaconFest 2022 will be held on September 10th from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is located down W. 1st St. in O'Fallon.

It is a fundraiser for the Relief Funds that help veterans and to help promote community businesses. The Relief Funds help local veterans with many needs. We have veterans come to the VFW Post 805 looking for help, needing money for utility bills to get a vehicle fixed for them to get to work.
