Giveaway by Petit Jean Meats

The 2nd annual Bacon Bowl presented by Petit Jean Meats will take place in downtown Bentonville on Saturday, September 13, from 9:00am until 12:00pm.

 Teams consisting of chefs and amateur cooks will compete in Entrée and Dessert Divisions and test their culinary skills by creating innovative bacon creations featuring Arkansas’ own Petit Jean Meats bacon. Teams can choose to enter Entrée or Dessert divisions, or both, with Petit Jean Meats generously donating their mouth-watering bacon to all who compete.

Bacon Bowl attendees of all ages will vote for their favorite dishes in both divisions as well as the overall People’s Champion.  Local and nationally-known bacon enthusiasts, food writers and bloggers will determine who will represent the Bacon Bowl in the Bacon Division at the 2014 World Food Championships in Las Vegas where they’ll have the opportunity to win up to $60,000.

Presenting Sponsor of #AWBU Announced

Kendal King Group is delighted to serve as the presenting sponsor for the 2014 Arkansas Women Bloggers conference on September 5 – 7.  We can’t wait to see you in Rogers!

The Women Bloggers asks, “That’s great and all, but what on earth does KKG do?”KKG Logo_color
 
Kendal King Group is a marketing, design and production agency serving the retail and consumer packaged goods (or “CPG”) industry – in other words, we work with hundreds of the Fortune 500 supplier (aka vendor) companies with a home base in northwest Arkansas.  Our clients include the NBA, DreamWorks Animation, Walmart, Garmin, Clorox and Goodyear.  The company was founded in 1987 and our corporate headquarters is in Kansas City, but we have a team in Bentonville as well as a company presence in Guangzhou, China.  We deliver creative marketing solutions through design, point of purchase displays, packaging, retail consulting, promotional licensing and all sorts of other retail-centric programs for our clients.
 
The Women Bloggers wonders, “So, why would you care about a blogger conference?”
 
Members of our team as well as a handful of our clients will join you throughout the weekend, and while we know you’ll be there to reconnect with friends old and new and to learn the latest and greatest about the world of blogging and social media, we know that we will learn just as much from interacting with all of you.  In fact, that’s exactly why we’re so excited to participate!  Many of our clients turn to us for communication tactics and innovative ideas, and we know that the #AWBU conference is a hotbed of creativity and opinions.  
 
In fact, we have some incredibly exciting news to share that will be particularly exciting to bloggers and social media mavens, and we wanted all of you to hear it first!  And, as it so happens, one of your longtime members happens to be one of our newest team members, and she assures us that the Arkansas Women Bloggers community – along with your seven (!) sister states – is the go-to source for savvy content crafters.  
We’d love to connect with you in the coming weeks on our social media channels.  We know that our work may still not be entirely clear, so we’ll share a little more with you at the conference.  We’ll actually be launching a whole new look and feel for our company during your gathering, and we are really looking forward to hearing your feedback!
 
If you have questions or want to know a little bit more about KKG, you can reach our new director of strategic marketing – Beth Stephens – on Twitter, LinkedIn or email (beth@kendalking.com) if you’re not already connected with her through the Arkansas Women Bloggers community.  We can’t wait to meet all of you!
