Eating Contest

A timed eating contest is always amazing and fascinating to watch. Have one as your next fundraiser. The possibilities are endless as to what food to pick. Choose from pies, hot dogs, ice cream, cake, you are only limited by your imagination. Charge an entry fee to contestants and award a cash prize to the winner. Have different age classes and offer different contests to enter. Have a “who can eat the most hot dogs in one minute” or “who can finish one pie the fastest” contest. Arrange to bring in a pie eating or hot dog eating champion to give a demonstration or to compete against the winners of each round. Have a concession stand selling food and drinks to the audience. A 50/50 Raffle is always a popular money maker. Find a local bakery or grocery store willing to donate the food that will be consumed at the contests. Research similar contests to create rules regarding use of hands and drinking water. Have paramedics on hand in case of an emergency.
