Attention all morbidly obese residents of NEPA!

Join us at 4 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 4 for the first annual Forest City Old Home Week Pierogi Eating Contest.

Gastronomic details

Pierogies from Plumpy's. I hope you like butter. If not, this probably isn't your kind of thing

Competition details

You've got 10 minutes to shove as many delicious pierogies in your mouth as you possibly can. Reversal equals disqualification.

Prizes will be awarded to the top three eaters, with the champion receiving the vaunted Man-Boy Memorial Pierogi Trophy.

Sign up details

$10 gets you entered. It also gets you all the pierogi you can shove in your face in the span of 10 minutes. Kielbasa, halupki, haluski, and antacids are not included, but feel free to bring your own. Sign up at All in a Basket or The Forest City News on Main Street, or print out the registration form and drop it off.

All entrants must be 18 years of age or older. (Sorry youngsters, only adults possess the responsibility necessary to eat enough food in one sitting to feed a small African village).

All entrants will receive a 1st Annual OHW Pieorgi Eating Contest T-shirt, which is sure to become a much sought-after collector's item
