While most people will celebrate Independence Day with barbeques, parades, and firework shows, one lucky person has the chance to celebrate by winning a year’s supply of cheesesteaks.
Brew Belly, a local brewery and restaurant located at 18065 Georgia Ave in Olney, announced it would host its 3rd annual Cheesesteak Eating Contest on July 4 at noon.
The contest is open to the first 25 people to sign up with a $20 entry fee. The first person to finish a two-pound footlong “Wiz Wit” cheesesteak will win a free cheesesteak from Brew Belly per week for an entire year.
Brew Belly says the entry money will be directly donated to Hero Dogs, a local non-profit organization, to help with their mission of pairing veterans with highly-trained service dogs, free of charge.
Per Brew Belly, here are six of the rules and etiquette for the contest:
- If you sign up, don’t be a no-show. Arrive 30-minutes early for check-in.
- Water bottles will be available. However, no dunking is allowed.
- If you are feeling sick, please remove yourself from the area. Trash cans will be located within reach, just in case.
- Win and lose graciously.
- Must sign a waiver to compete.
- Must be 18+ to compete.
Those up to the challenge are encouraged to register for the contest by calling Brew Belly at 240-389-1927.
