Columbia Heights Day was super fun this year. The weather was perfect and the good vibes were plentiful. Like last year there was lots of good music but unlike last year there was a popular petting zoo and a phenomenal cup cake eating contest. Honestly I think I had more fun watching the cup cake eating contest than I did at all the Nats games I attended. Certainly the crowd was more lively.
Sadly, Council Member Graham didn’t participate but he was a judge. Council Member Carol Schwartz also looked on and one of her opponent’s in the upcoming election, Patrick Mara, did participate.

As you can tell from the photos, what made the contest so much fun was the no hands rule.
If you attended what was your favorite part? Lots more photos, including many more hilarious photos from the cup cake eating contest, after the jump.
Wonderland and Looking Glass Lounge owner Matthew was a fierce competitor.
Wonderland and LGL owner Rose also put in a good effort.
I think this was the winner, Brian.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
