Major League Eating meets DCI
On Wednesday, August 8th, the world's best competitive eaters will converge on Knott's Berry Farm, America's first theme park, to compete in the first-ever Drum Corps International Peanut Butter & Jelly Eating Championship. Among the eaters vying for the cash prizes and bragging rights will be Joey Chestnut, the number 1-ranked competitive eater in the world and a former trumpeter.
The PB&J Fest was created to celebrate the start of the 2007 Drum Corps International World Championships at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, Calif., which will take place from August 9th through August 11th.
"Drum Corps International is celebrating its 35th anniversary, and its first-ever West Coast World Championship event", said Lora Morton, manager of promotions services for Drum Corps International. "We were looking for a great way to kick off a week of fun and competitive excitement in Southern California, and we think that the PB&J contest will be a blast!"
The contest will feature not merely an all-star cast of competitive eaters, but a virtual cornucopia of interesting characters to boot.
