 Jon Evans: "You know that judging contest I signed you up for? Well, it's actually an eating contest!" We had such a great afternoon at The 16th Annual Budweiser Wing Fling in Carolina Beach! I think the festival has finally found its home at the Carolina Beach Boardwalk. Lots of great music, fun and of course... wings! Oh, did I mention that my co-anchor, Jon Evans, thought he signed us up for wing judging? He apparently committed me to a wing EATING contest! I wanted to dress up as the competitive eater Takeru Kobayashi... but instead I just came dressed in Jason Wu!  Japanese competitive eater Takeru Kobayashi at the Wing Bowl 2012 on Feb. 3, 2012 in Philadelphia. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon) Jim and Bryan from 103.7 FM The Bone were there to razz us... as we sucked down as many wings as possible. Bryan even joined the eating competition! But, at the end of the day... the winner was... JON EVANS! That guy can really put away a few wings! What a great event! Money raised goes to UNCW and area charities.

It's great that it's at the beach, but not so great that it's now inaccessible to those of us who looked forward to going every year.. Now it's just another thing that my husband and I (or anyone else, for that matter,) can't do anymore. Wonder if they'll do the same to the chili cookoff. To clarify, the buses don't run to the beach... ANY beach.

How can you say it's something no one else can do for that matter when the turnout was in the thousands? I am sure there are taxi services that visit the beaches that would allow you to continue your tradition each year. If your rebuttal is the high cost of a cab, I don't buy it. Either plan and save or voice your opinion with the bus company. However be prepared to pay aptly for a bus ride to an area beach. New Hanover county residents were unwilling to foot that bill through increased vehicle registration fees for a service that the bus company knows is not profitable. Hey, I would love a boat but I do not believe the taxpayers should be on the hook for it. Instead I'll keep saving my pennies.
