The lovely Miss Banana Pudding greeted visitors to the “Pudding Path,” where $5 would let you taste samples from all the contenders, and then vote for the coveted title of BEST BANANA PUDDING.

We had to wait 45 minutes to enter the Pudding Path, but it was worth it - to taste so many yummy varieties of banana pudding!

Hold on tight to those sliders, girls!
