How many buckets of fries can Dad eat?

A one-pound bucket of Curley's fries can feed a couple hungry people on the boardwalk in Wildwood.

What if you're really hungry, and there's money at stake?

Try putting away about 4½ pounds of fries in five minutes.

That's the record for the annual Curley's Fry Eating Contest.

This year's contest will be held midday June 15, Father's Day, at Joe's Fish Co. at 25th St and the Boardwalk.

There will be two competitions - the first for amateur contestants, and the second for professional eaters. The grand prize winner for the amateur division will receive $500 and first place in the professional division will receive $1,000. All participants will receive a complimentary ride and water park wristband and one additional wristband for a guest.

The fry-eating contest is open to anyone ages 18 and older; to pre-register contact Tyler Jacobs at tyler.jacobs@moreyspiers.com. On-site registration and check-in begin at 11 a.m.
