Lehigh Career and Technical Institute, Schnecksville, played host Jan. 31 to a 5-pound hamburger-eating contest called "Tame the Bison."

The fundraiser helped students Family, Career and Community Leaders of America raise money for a trip to the Pennsylvania State Championship in Lancaster in March.

Six ravenous rivals started with the goal of finishing the Bison Burger in an hour.

If a competitor finished eating within the allotted time, his or her entry fee would be returned.

Two half-pound patties of ground beef, not bison meat, was in the burger and there were three pounds of bread, a half-pound of bacon, half-pound of cheese, grilled onions, mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, a side of french fries and assorted brownies for dessert.

A bison is the former mascot of LCTI.

The Bison Burger proved too much for any of the contestants to completely devour.
