Wright Brand Bacon is celebrating their 100th anniversary, and they're not holding back. The Vernon, Texas company has declared a name change for the weekend of September 16-17, 2022. The town will be called Bacon City USA, and they need a mayor.

Just last month, Wright released a bacon-scented cologne. For their next trick, they're searching for someone to represent the newly-named Bacon City USA. Candidates can enter by submitting a one-minute video explaining their love of bacon.
