Spam Artisans Return To Reading
In keeping with this week’s theme of getting right to the point, I now respectfully submit two photos from yesterday’s second annual Spam Carving Competition in Reading. Here, some of the more esteemed competitors stand in front of their creations:
So, from left to right, we have some sort of ramp, a Stonehenge-looking thing, several asymmetrical lumps, a demon dog, and a Phillies “P”. You know what, I’m going to have to zoom in for a closer look:
Demon Dog!
The Rest!
Mr. Jose Alicea received an award for his creation:

And now, because additional information is always appreciated, I present to you a sizable portion of Reading’s press release:
His
sculpture was a living room.
Alicea
works for Liberty Thrift Home Furnishing in Pottstown
and Collegeville and his work was his inspiration.
Opportunity
House is a multi-service organization that improves the quality of life for
children, families and adults who face various obstacles to independence, and
supports their efforts to achieve and maintain self-sufficiency and well-being.
So, there you go. Spam was carved, money was raised, and everyone went home happy. Well, almost everyone.

I think the “sort of ramp” is supposed to represent a spatula, which is what the giveaway was that night. BTW, I wanted to go to this game, but the husband got stuck in traffic and home too late that day. I have horrible luck when I decide I want to go to certain games!
