Ice festival a cool hit
Joyce Cully, who co-owns United Plate Glass with her husband, Mike, wasn’t kidding around about her employee’s participation in the Carved in Ice festival’s first hot dog-eating contest.
“I really want that wiener trophy,” Cully said as she filmed a United Plate Glass employee named Colin scarfing down dogs.
Alas, the coveted prize will appear in the lobby at Family Bowlaway in Butler Township, as Scott Tunstall of Butler Township ably represented his employer by eating six hot dogs in five minutes, and keeping them down, per the rules.
More than 100 people filled the Butler Sons & Daughters of Italy Hall, 338 S. Main St., l at noon to watch the stomach-stressing event.
Contestants in the two categories sat side by side at a long table, each with 10 hot dogs on a plate before them.
The contestant to eat the most hot dogs in five minutes — and keep them down for at least one minute after the timer sounded — won the contest.
