Completion Challenge | Age: 16+

Think you’ve got what it takes to conquer eight classic hot dogs — buns and all? Step up and prove it!

How it Works: Each contestant receives 8 hot dogs and a cup of water. When the signal is given, it’s all about finishing every last bite — no shortcuts, no tossing, no tearing. Hands only.

To Win: The first person to completely finish all eight hot dogs (with nothing left in their mouth) claims victory. Judges are watching closely — any leftover food means you’re not done. Utensils, outside help, or “reversals” (aka vomiting) result in immediate disqualification.

Prize: Complete the challenge and walk away with the glory (and maybe a Tums) plus a $25 gift card!

Hands-Free Cake Challenge | Age: 12+

Let your face do the work! Dive into a personal cake using only your mouth in this hilariously messy showdown.

How it Works: Hands stay behind your back or on the table. The goal is simple — finish every bite, frosting and all, cleanly. No crumbs left, no cake in your lap.

To Win: The first contestant to completely finish their cake and show a clean face takes the win. Judges will check carefully — any leftover cake or “reversals” (aka vomiting) results in disqualification.

Prize: Victory earns bragging rights, maybe a napkin, and a $25 gift card!

The music plays, the tension builds — and just like that, you’re scrambling for a seat! One less chair every round until there’s only one champion left. 

How it Works: Walk in a circle while the music plays. When it stops, grab a seat — fast. One person out each round. No blocking, no elbows, no excuses.

Cuteness Showdown | Age: 0–2: Bring on the giggles, dimples, and tiny cowboy boots — it’s baby time! This crowd-favorite contest celebrates our youngest fairgoers in all their adorable glory. 

How it Works: Each baby is introduced on stage with a parent or guardian. Whether they’re clapping, crawling, crying, or cheesing it up, every baby gets their moment to shine. 

Judging Criteria: Cuteness, charm, outfit creativity, and the all-important crowd reaction! Bonus points for coordinated costumes, cowpoke flair, or baby belly laughs. 

Prize:  Winner receives a baby-friendly gift basket and a whole lot of “awws.” 

Objective: Fastest time to shovel coal over a wall and return 

Time: 5:00 p.m. (separate from other games) 

Age Requirement: 18+ (strictly enforced) 

Categories: Men's & Women's Divisions 

How it Works: Each round features 2 to 4 contestants. Everyone starts seated in a chair at the starting line, where a stopwatch will be waiting. At the official countdown — “3, 2, 1, GO!” — each contestant starts their own stopwatch, jumps up, and runs to the coal chute. Shovel as much coal as you can into your assigned bucket by tossing it over the wall. When you’ve finished your haul, race back to your chair and stop your own stopwatch. Judges will observe and record your final time. 

Important Notes: 

● Each contestant is responsible for starting and stopping their own time using the   

    stopwatch at their chair. 

● Judges are there to watch, reset, and record — not run the clock for you. 

● After each round, coal will be dumped and reset. 

● One judge will be assigned per contestant. 

Mess Warning!  This event is dirty and demanding — expect sweat, grit, and flying coal. We’ll provide water and wet wipes to help you clean up. 

Awards:  First-place winners in each category (Men’s and Women’s) will receive prizes and bragging rights! Cash prize for each division.
