Nah, I didn’t burn my tongue. I had some fine buffalo wings though at the annual Hockomock YMCA fundraising event the Wing Off. 10 local restaurants faced off for title of the Best Buffalo Wings. And who reaped the benefit? Well, I surely did, my donation got me nearly all the wings I could eat (Mentally I could have eaten more but my stomach was telling me no way).
The event had live music, a party atmosphere and plenty of wings for all your taste buds. MY favorite was the Red Dragon wings from Tom’s Tavern in Wrentham. They were just the right blend of hot and sweet. There were other favorites there like Jennerations Cajun Buffalo wings and new favorite to me the straight up buffalo taste from J&M Sports Bar. J&M had the crispiest wings and that is exactly how I like them. Last Year’s winner The Cheiftan had some Guinness wings and they were amazing. A very tasty dipping sauce went with those wings as well. I took a few photos at the event.
Today I went to the local High School and took a bunch of photos for the annual fund raising event for the local animal shelter, Strut Your Mutt. I had not been to a Strut Your Mutt before but my sister, Tara, has been a big supporter of the event for years. She puts together baskets and helps with the set up and she goes with Taylor so Taylor can visit her Day Care Friends. Doggy Day Care that is. It was a very fun event, however the weather was not that cooperative.
I took my camera and a bunch of my business cards with me and took a ton of photos of people and their dogs. Something I noticed, people love to be photographed with there pets so it was very easy to walk up to people and ask if I could take a photo of their dog and then ask them if they would like to be in the photo as well. If something comes out of this for my budding photography career then cool, but if not I got some really fun experience and some nice shots.
