For the first time in the 117 year history of the State Fair, big eaters will have their time to shine, as the State Fair of Louisiana will hold several eating contests!

With cash, ribbons and gift certificates going to winners in these events, spectators will also get rewarded with something no one has ever seen at our fair!

Here's the schedule for these four separate eating events which will all be held at the State Fair of Louisiana in Shreveport during this opening weekend of the fair.

CONTEST TIMES:

• Saturday, October 28 1:00 pm - Swain’s Fine Foods - Pizza Eating Contest

All ages are welcome in each of the four eating contests and for those wishing to compete, the State Fair of Louisiana points out on their Facebook page that you simply have to show up and a maximum of ten contestants will be selected for each event.

The rules appear to be relatively simple to follow:
