ANSONIA >> Filling your face with rich, fatty foods the day before the ritual fasting of Lent has become a tradition at Eddy's Bake Shop for the past 17 years. And this year’s annual paczki- (pronounced poonch-key) eating contest promises a new twist.
The contest, scheduled for 8 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 17, at Eddy’s, located at 317 Main St., will once again feature contestants trying to scoff down as many of the plump, filled donuts they can in five minutes.
The twist? Mayor David Cassetti will crown the winner, if they hail from Ansonia, as honorary ‘mayor for the day.’ Eddy’s will also give the winner, no matter where they come from, a fat $200 cash prize.
