Last fall, students at Payson High School launched a social media campaign to bring #BacontoPayson before the old building (made famous as the main set location of the iconic film Footloose) is closed and demolished later this year.

More than 1,000 volunteers from the Payson community joined Bacon to assemble $865,000 worth of product distribution, totaling 121,900 items and involved more than 3,000 volunteer hours.
