WHOOPIE PIES
I was in Lancaster this past weekend and stopped by the Hershey Farm Restaurant, better known as the site of the annual Whoopie Pie Festival and whoopie pie eating contest. A flyer inside said the "amateur whoopie pie eating contest" would be held during the festival on September 20, a full month earlier than last year's contest.
I'm not sure if they emphasized the "amateur" requirement last year (I think they did), but seeing as how my career winnings total a whopping $25, I'm pretty sure I qualify. While I was there, I snapped a few pictures of some goats.

Can't believe it is almost that time of year again. It'll be Christmas before you know it. Ok, so, I called Hershey Farms to touch base regarding the Whoopie contest and my eligibility regarding the whole 'amatuer' listing and all. I have not received a call back but I will be there.
I don't imagine I'll be able to top 07's number but hope to come close. They may change the pie size again this year which will also be a deciding factor. If they are the big ones (they do sell some huge ass ones) then I"ll be tempted to bring my scale just in case.
I've already talked with a few of the UEPa'ers about attendance with 1 not being able to show. Perhaps my rematch against MegaMunch will be granted???

Oh, I'll be there Hickman. And I've been training, which means I plan to beat you by at least five pies.

I want to go this year as well. How accessible is it by public transportation?

Not very. If you catch the Amtrak into Harrisburg, you can catch a ride with me if you'd like.
