Sirens Bar and Grill is hosting a burger-eating competition to raise money for HALO on Aug. 24. The first person to finish a two-pound hamburger and roughly a pound of fries in the allotted hour wins a $75 Sirens gift certificate. “The four-patty monster is not for the faint of heart,”cautions the event description on Facebook. “Don’t worry, you will have a 60 oz jug of a non-blood thinner beverage (no alcohol) to wash it all down.” The event needs at least five participants to proceed and a maximum of 10 can compete. Entry fee is $50. The contest has six rules: – No leaving the table; – You cannot have assistance; – All food, including the fries, must be consumed; – No bathroom breaks; – No alcohol during the competition; – Vomiting earns a disqualification. Spectators are also able to contribute to the cause. A dollar from each signature two-ounce HALO drink or local craft beer sampler will go toward HALO. 14
