Juntion hosts hot dog-eating contest

    The Utah State University Dining Services will host the first annual hot dog eating contest April 1, at noon, at the Junction located in central campus next to the Valley View and Mountain View Towers.
    “This is an eating contest for real Aggies,” said Jamie Bradford, USU QuickStop operations manager. “It is an opportunity to show your Aggie pride and eating abilities at the same time.”
    Participants are encouraged to sign up early. Registration began March 27 at the Junction.
    “The first 10 students to sign up will participate in the five minute challenge,” said Junction Customer Service Manager Lindsey Wiltshire.
    A second contest will then be hosted at noon, April 8, at the Quickstop located in the Taggart Student Center. The TSC event will be a Scotsman dog eating contest.
    “On the morning of the competition we will sign up the first 15 contestants,” said Bradford. “We will be in the hallway right by the Quickstop so anyone can watch.”
    The finale to the two contests will be a combined hot dog Scotsman dog eating contest April 22, also at noon, on the TSC patio.
