Fling- Day Three. Part 1.

Sunday. Today the fling was all about the food; baking contests, eating competitions, etc. It was all quite appropriate since around midnight my stomach made my brain realize that all I'd eaten during Friday and Saturday was bratwurst and beer. I calculated that I'd consumed around 10 brats... and it became quite apparent that I needed to mix up my diet a little.

First up was the apple pie eating competition-


Later there was the macaroni-n-cheese eating. I think we'll have to file this one under 'the agony of defeat'.

Soon after that I met up with a few friends over at the Apple Pie Baking contest. I got to sample a few and the ones I tried were absolutely amazing. Or maybe my body was just happy to have some apples in it. These girls were the servers, and the one they are cutting now was my personal favorite. It had apples, blackberries, and raspberries inside. And that little white bowl had a delicious sauce that was for dribbling over the pie.
These are my friends who had the difficult job of acting as judges. One 12 year old girl took 3 of the 5 prizes.
Now, I am very, very, very lucky to not know who the Wizards of Waverly Place are. But apparently the tween crowd thinks they're amazing, and they flip their collective coconuts whenever a Disney Channel person is around. These girls showed up at 6am to be first in line. I'm not sure of the exact numbers, but I'm guessing that there were around 5 million, trillion, zillion girls in line.
