The Alex Guthrie Band performed on Sunday, following a Bagel Eating Contest that pitted six contestants against each other in a battle of carb-loading and expanding waistlines. Brandon Clark, “Da Garbage Disposal,” a professional eater from Chicago, won the contest by snarfing down seven bagels in five minutes. He beat the previous record of five bagels.

Noshfest celebrates Jewish food and culture by showcasing delicacies and activities unique to the Jewish heritage. The event brings together members of Cobb County’s diverse community for the two-day festival in the parking lot of the Marietta synagogue, which also included a tour of its sanctuary for anyone interested.
