Finally... Cricket Spitting

After developing a little too much spit around her cricket, Kellie only spit 6 feet and 8 inches.

"It doesn't taste bad, but you can tell it's a bug," she said.

It is free to participate in the competition, since the volunteers working the event have a hard enough time convincing people to spit crickets even without having to pay. As a vegan, I was exempt from participating, which I can't say I'm sad about.

The spitting will continue until 2 p.m. on Main Street in front of the Hoosier Lottery Grandstand.
