The face of victory. But will it last?
We asked, and you applied.
After receiving an overwhelming number of applications for second annual Wolfgang Candy Chocolate Bunny Challenge, we’ve selected seven challengers from around central Pennsylvania to compete against last year’s champ Don Yeager, 30, of Harrisburg. (You can read about him here.)
Will someone beat his 9-minute record? Time will tell.
Join the fun at 11 a.m. Saturday, March 28 at Central Market York, and check out our event page on Facebook.
