(From megamunch email). The blog for Turkey Hill Ice Cream announces an ice cream contest
The contest will feature four preliminary showdowns held at the WIP game day tent at the Wachovia Center before the first four Eagles home games of the season. In each contest, eight contestants will battle to see who can eat the most ice cream. But there’s a catch: They can’t use their hands (you didn’t think it would be easy, did you?). The winner will advance to the final eat-off on November 8 and will also receive a poster and helmet autographed by Eagles star Brian Dawkins.
On November 8, the four winners of the preliminary rounds will face off and the champion will receive two tickets to see the Eagles take on the Giants in New York as well as limo transportation and hotel accommodations!
A registration form and rules are available at 610 WIP’s website
The qualifier dates are:
9/7/2008 Vs Rams
9/21/2008 Vs Steelers
10/5/2008 Vs Redskins
10/26/2008 Vs Falcons
