ICE CREAM BY THE HANDFUL - Watermelon To The Rind

(06/09/2003)

McCumbers won "hands down" (or up) in the ice cream contest Jones (at far end) eats watermelon "fastest alive" It was a laughable event - the Ice Cream and Watermelon Contests at the Wood Festival on Saturday. It was serious competition as contestants developed their own system for gorging down the food. Sandy McCumbers won the ice cream contest, eating it by the handful. We lost count after six bowls. Her sister, Terry Jones, won the watermelon contest "right down to the rind." Both out-distanced several younger eaters, who seemed to be the likely winners. The winners got even more ice cream and watermelon as prizes. The ice cream was supplied by "The Schwan's Man." "Why am I doing this?" Contestants eat bowl after bowl of ice cream
