The retail value of the food eaten at the contest alone is a
worthwhile prize. However, the Boomtown Lobster-Eating Challenge
will post a total of $3,500 in prize money for first, second and
third places -- and a trip to Maine in August for the Lobster!
Lobster! World Lobster Eating Championship for the winner. This is
a great event for anyone who wants to head to Reno for a quick
weekend. The event will take place at 1 pm on Saturday, April 9 at
the Silver Screen Buffet at the Boomtown Casino & Hotel.
Also, consider the National Sweet Corn-Eating Championship at the
Sweet Corn Fiesta in West Palm Beach, FL, on Sunday, April 24.
You must be 21 years old for the Boomtown contest, 18 years or over
for sweet corn.

Giselle: Wow, that's some prize for the lobster eating contest. And
you get to stuff yourself with lobster. Good Lord, they should be
charging for admission! Sounds good to me!
