TOPSFIELD FAIR TO HOST 5TH ANNUAL HOT DOG EATING CONTEST<br />
Will last year’s record of 10<br />
quarter-pound hot dogs in seven<br />
minutes be broken?<br />
The 205th <strong>Topsfield</strong> <strong>Fair</strong>, running<br />
Sept. 29 through Oct. 9, is pleased<br />
to announce its 5th annual Hot Dog<br />
Eating Contest, sponsored by the<br />
B’nai B’rith Booth.<br />
The <strong>Topsfield</strong> <strong>Fair</strong> Hot Dog Eating<br />
Contest will be held on Saturday, Sept.<br />
30, at 3 p.m. on the Trianon Stage.<br />
Contestants, who must be over 16<br />
years of age to participate, will have<br />
seven minutes to consume as many<br />
quarter-pound Hebrew National Hot<br />
Dogs (including buns) as they can.<br />
These jumbo-sized hot dogs are twice<br />
the size of standard dogs.<br />
The first 15 people to register beginning<br />
at 2:30 p.m. on the day of<br />
the contest at the Trianon Stage will<br />
participate. Each competitor must<br />
complete an entry form and a waiver<br />
form prior to the deadline for entry.<br />
Contestants can also pre-register online<br />
at https://www.topsfieldfair.org/<br />
event/hot-dog-eating-contest/. There<br />
is no cost to participate.<br />
Each contestant will begin with six<br />
hot dogs with buns. More hot dogs will<br />
be brought to a contestant during the<br />
consumption of the last hot dog. Each<br />
contestant will also begin the contest<br />
with two glasses of water to drink while<br />
consuming the hot dogs. Additional<br />
water is provided as needed.<br />
The winner will receive $205 from the<br />
B’nai B’rith Booth at the <strong>Topsfield</strong> <strong>Fair</strong>.<br />
Brandon Wood of Warren, Mass., stands as part of his strategy in the fourth annual <strong>Topsfield</strong> <strong>Fair</strong> Hot Dog<br />
Eating Contest at the 2022 <strong>Topsfield</strong> <strong>Fair</strong>. It paid off, as Wood beat 15 other contestants and set a new record<br />
by eating 10 quarter-pound hot dogs (the equivalent of 20 standard hot dogs) in buns in the allotted<br />
seven-minute time period.<br />
