Woodstock (CT) Fair

Blueberry pie eating contest at the Fair; 2 minutes of pie eating, the one who has eaten the most wins. Funny stuff. Some results: http://www.pbase.com/kleaf/woodstock_fair
Most of these guys looked familiar with a helping or two of pie. Son Oliver, included.

I always think of the scene in "Stand By Me" where the kid projectile vomits the pie!! LOL!! GREAT shot!

I have a hunch this isn't on Atkins... LOL... What fun, though!

Nice composition. Looks like fun watching other people doing it.

LOL, I always wondered how they breathe while plastering their face into these pies. :-) Oliver looks like he had fun.

Great shot! Depicts life in America festivals/fairs brilliantly.

This is great! Perfect composition, detail and exposure. And it tells a story and I love shots that have meaning.

Reminds me of a scene in the movie "Stand By Me." This is great, Karen!

Rick, these guys won't be eating anything for a while. Oliver was really upset he didn't want Italian Sausge with onions and peppers while at the fair.
BTW, no crop; some levels, minor color correction, contrast and sharpening.

Fun shot here, too, Karen. Sounds like you had more than a fair day.
