We’ve had a lot of inquiries about our Shrimp Eating Contest. You can sign up at the event, Saturday or Sunday. It’s how many you can eat (and swallow) in two minutes. You can eat the shells or peel them but you need to save the tails. We will have a contest about very 90 minutes. See the contestants in the photo above.
