At the City of Lewisville employee event (date not specified), host Jesse Allen announced winners of the annual tamale-eating contest after two-minute heats and a one-minute tie-breaker in the women's division. The contest, sponsored by Padrino Foods, awarded custom championship belts and rookie honors to several employees.

The contest rules, read by Jesse Allen, called for contestants to eat as many Padrino pork tamales as they could “in two minutes, and you will keep them down.” Allen said any contestant who vomited would be disqualified. He also described tie-break procedures: “If there is a tie at the end of one of the rounds, we will have a one-minute eat off.”

The women’s division finished with Kristin Masalama Repajama Hudson winning the title with roughly 11 tamales; Sarah Ward placed second by a narrow margin and Barbara “Cast Iron Crusher” Edwards finished third. Allen announced a tie between Sarah Ward and Kristen Hudson after the initial round and said they would “do one minute to see who can put down the most in one minute.” Ward was also named women’s rookie of the year.

In the men’s division, Wade "Thundergut" Peck won the championship with 15 tamales. Clarence (nicknamed “the All American eater”) finished second with 12 tamales and Scott Red Roan placed third with 10.5 tamales. The event also produced a tie for men’s rookie of the year between Noah Taylor and Isaac Stipp.

Organizers presented a women’s championship belt and a men’s belt for the winners to hold for a year. Allen credited Veil Leather with making the belts, though the event also included a later reference to Oden Leather. DJ Preet provided music and Shelley Pershing and Jamie Milstead assisted with counting and timing; Allen identified Miss Shelly as the official timekeeper.

Allen and event staff announced practical details during the program — for example, that two minutes would be placed on the clock for each heat and that ties would be broken by a one-minute eat-off — and encouraged photos by event photographer Matt Martucci. The contest included a large number of first-time competitors: Allen said there were 11 first-timers in this year’s field. Departments represented by named contestants included the Parks Department, Parts Department, Library, Engineering, Streets, Facilities, ITS, and Water Treatment.

The event was run as an employee recreational activity rather than a formal city board meeting; no ordinances, motions, or formal votes were taken. Organizers closed the event by asking award winners to remain for photos and thanking the sponsor, Padrino Foods, DJ Preet, event staff and volunteers.

Despite some informal and colorful language onstage, the program adhered to the announced contest rules and produced the listed winners and rookie awards.
