Short on wings, long on entertainment
By David Josselyn
The second annual Central City Wing Fest, Saturday, July 22, was met with eager anticipation by those who attended the inaugural or heard about it second hand. The Wing Fest event allows business and residents to show off their chicken wing finesse in a contest for best wing, and then holds a chicken wing eating contest. Trophies are handed out for best wings, but over-eaters, er, over-achievers in eating are awarded cold hard cash for their gnashing ability. Main Street is closed for pedestrians only and is lined with vendors of all sorts capped with a street-width stage and live bands playing all day. Once an hour, the music and action pauses to witness an old-fashioned shoot-out by the Wild Bunch Gang. During the 2:00 hour, the Wild Bunch were startled by an alien craft hovering in the sky (a drone flown by a Central City Fire Department volunteer) and took time off from shooting each other to take aim at the object. Their aim was not true and the vehicle flew off down the street never to be seen again.
