Guns and Hoses: Mmmmmmmmmmm Good!!!!

The Champs of the 2008 Guns and Hoses Wing Eating Challenge was the Gloucester City Police Team consisting of Brian Morrell, Doug Ziegler, Bob Lee, Jimmy Little, Billy \”Goober\” Johnson and Steve Burkhardt. They consumed a combined total of 480 wings.

 The opposing team representing the Gloucester City Fire Department, Jerry Hubbs, Chris Oliver, Chris Ryan, Curt Dillon, Pat Hagan and Anthony Bramble ate a total of 477 wings.

 Understandably the \”Hoses\” are asking for a recount.

 The event, which raised $2300 for the Camden County hero Scholarship Fund, was held Saturday at O’Malley’s Pub, Route 130 and Klemm Avenue. The Camden County Emerald Society Pipes and Drums were on hand to lead the teams into the arena.

Also present were Mayor Bill James, Councilman Nick Marchese, and Camden County Sheriff Bill Billingham (left, oops typo, Chuck Billingham). His twin brother Bill is the famous Karate champion and a NJ State Trooper. (click on photos to enlarge)

The Master of Ceremonies was Gloucester City Firefighter Dan McGlinsey, below.
