BostonNow – pro-am AICE sausage contest Friday
BostonNow.com reports that there will be another sausage contest at the Boston Italian Festival in addition to the main sausage contest on Saturday:
On Friday there will be a World Sausage Eating Contest that pairs professional eaters with local celebrities fighting it out for the title of champion. More than 150 pounds of sausage will be devoured, with each contestant responsible for one to four pounds or up to 16 12-inch links.
“We receive a lot of exposure from it, and it has become a highlight of the festival,” says Capogreco. “We’re drawing a lot of competitive eaters, too, such as Tom “The Goose” Gilbert, Ian “The Invader” Hickman and Joshua “The Lumberjack” Hearne.”
Some profiles of the expected competitors are listed on the festival website.

A reporter misreport something… NEVER.
The shocking thing is when they actually get things correct.
