STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — The results for Day Two of the Richmond County Fair are down for the record books in 2021. On this overcast day, the rain held out for several contests — Pie-Eating, Shopping Cart Scurry, Hula Hoop, Potato Sack Races, Three-Legged Races, and the Disc Toss.
Big shockers came from the pie and hot dog eating competitions: Anthony Lopez won both within a matter of hours — a first-time feat for an individual in the annual challenge. But there’s more to the marvel: Organizer Gale Cirigliano said Lopez ate six hot dogs then, in a separate event, devoured one blueberry pie in a matter of minutes.

She explained, “They only get one pie but they have to complete it within two minutes and no one has ever finished a pie — ever.”
That is...until this year.

She paused and added, “It’s not like a phony pie. It’s a full pie. It’s got the blueberries in it. It’s got whipped cream. If you’re eating a full pie, it’s a hefty thing.”
After 17 years of running this contest, Cirigliano has learned to stand behind the food competitors. She admits it’s a tough scene to watch contestants straight on. Plus, she added graciously: there’s the human element to consider. EMTs from North Shore Rescue and FDNY stand nearby, just in case.

For the weekend-long chow-down, 200 pies were produced and donated by Mark’s Bake Shoppe of Richmond.
Overall prizes for the 42nd annual borough fair included blue, red and yellow ribbons — and, yes...the privilege of winning. For the competitive eaters, there were gratis pies and/or franks.
