The winners get a large cash prize, so they are very motivated to win and don't seem ill at all afterward. They obviously train for this contest.<br /><br />The beach is almost always crowded on a hot summer weekend. There are 2.5 million people that live in the borough of Brooklyn and therefore a free place to catch a cool ocean breeze for the day is very popular...just like in the days of old!Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-35853888896738613602011-07-08T12:00:30.965-04:002011-07-08T12:00:30.965-04:00Well, I am glad to know that there was more entert...Well, I am glad to know that there was more entertainment other than watching people stuff themselves with hotdogs. I know this sounds horrible to ask, but do you think they all threw up afterwards?<br /><br />Pat, your photos are so very good! The one with all the umbrellas would make an excellent poster.
