Returning this year with the goal of again clinching the winner’s title in Solvang’s annual Danish Days aebleskiver eating contest, is Raina Huang — a touring competitive eater who last year easily cleared the 2016 Danish Days Aebleskiver Eating Contest record of 18.5 aebleskiver, downing 36 of the doughy balls in five minutes.

The all-you-can-eat five-minute contest will be held on both Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 21-22 at 11:30 a.m., in the Midgaard Pavilion in Parking Lot 2, in downtown Solvang, adjacent to the Danish Days Viking Beer & Wine Garden.

The contest is free and all ages are welcome.
