Wingsfest!

The family decided to check out the Wing Festival this year up at Coca Cola Field in Buffalo.  It was quite the event!   Wings places from all over the country including Oregon and Washington (state) and more.

The most intriguing tastes included a Maple Cinnamon wing and a Sea Salt and Vinegar one.  Lots of great BBQ, various levels of spiciness, and some interesting flavors.

$3.50 for a bottle of water or pop was the typical festival rip-off.  Even the vendors seemed to be embarrassed by the outrageous prices.

Someone got married on the main stage while we were there!  Officiated by Buffalo's mayor and with the bride given away by the "Chicken Wing King" (who is all ham when the camera is on him, lol!)

The festival actually got started because of a movie "Osmosis Jones" starring Bill Murray.  A local promoter named Drew Cerza decided that Buffalo needed a REAL wings fest and 10 years later both Cerza and Murray were inducted into the Wings Hall of Fame.  Here's the clip that started it all:


So a good time was had by all.  If you're a Buffalo Wings fan mark it down for next Labor Day.  Maybe we'll see you there!

Peace
