Everything from classic cars to modern muscle and custom to cruising motorcycles will roll through Downtown Paris this weekend alongside a rock, paper, scissors competition and donut eating competitions during Lamar County Adopt-A-Cop’s Cops-N-Rodders on Saturday, Sept. 18, from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at South Main Iron.
“Do-nut miss out on being crowned Lamar County’s Donut Eating Champion,” during the car show.
“The donut eating contest and rock, paper, scissors contest will be so much fun,” said Lamar County Adopt-A-Cop President Amanda Willows. “We will also have some amazing barbecue by the Do Right Boyz (Joey McCarthy and Ron Byers) at noon. BBQ, chips and drink for just $10, and it’s so worth it!”
Donut on a string eating contest will be a single-elimination tournament, and the winner from each bracket will compete against other winners until a champion is crowned. The two categories are adult and children 12 years and under. Entry is $5 and the winner takes home $30 plus a dozen donuts.
The most eaten donuts competition is just that – the most donuts eaten in two minutes. This is a one-round competition with limited entries. Entry is $25 and the winner takes home $75 and a dozen donuts.
The celebrity round will feature local police, firemen, EMS, city and county officials alongside local personalities in a one-round donut-on-a-string competition.
