The Glens Falls Collaborative will host its annual Wing Fest event on Saturday, April 29,\u00a0 <\/span>in downtown Glens Falls.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The event is a competition between restaurants for the best wings. Tasting is from noon to 3 p.m. and an awards ceremony at the bandstand in City Park at 3:30 p.m. will close out the event. There will be multiple categories that restaurants can win.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The second annual Michael DuBray Inferno Wing Eating Competition will also takes place at 2 p.m. on Glen Street.\u00a0 <\/span>Competitors will pay a registration fee of $25 that will go into a Michael DuBray Scholarship Fund and will determine who can eat the most hot wings.

The Collaborative is still seeking\u00a0 <\/span>participating restaurants for the event. Restaurants are invited to apply online at www.glensfallscollaborative.com.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span>This event will be cash only, a departure from the previous ticket system.<\/p>\n

The Wing Fest is produced by the Glens Falls Collaborative with major support from the City of Glens Falls and the Glens Falls Business Improvement District.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Collaborative was created in 2012 by a group of dedicated merchants who wanted to cross-promote and increase business flowing to downtown Glens Falls, in cooperation with the City of Glens Falls and the Glens Falls Business Improvement District.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Collaborative has expanded to put on major Downtown events including Pet Fest, Grandma\u2019s Table, Take A Bite, Boo2You, the ADK Christkindlmarkt and Hometown Holidays.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It also creates a brochure of Glens Falls activities that has a large distribution, joint advertising, and now includes restaurants, arts and nonprofit organizations, health-related businesses, media arts firms, different service providers and other area businesses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
