Pie eating contest

Video from Friday’s Family Fourth Festival in downtown Sanford. The highlight for me was the pie-eating contest, which I wrote about in Saturday’s Herald. Above is the video, complete with Jon’s eating helmet and an impressive display by Bob Heuts.

I am a 33-year-old newspaper editor and radio show host living in Sanford, North Carolina. I have been editor at the Sanford Herald since February, 2007, and I've been in newspapers since 1999. I married my college sweetheart Jennifer in 2003, and today, we're the proud parents of a little girl, Hayley Alexandra (born Oct. 3, 2009) plus an 8-year-old Jack Russell Terrier and year-old Labernese.
