TICONDEROGA Ñ Ticonderoga eateries will battle for bragging rights during the third annual Ò Wing War,Ó but the real winner will be the Ticonderoga Food Pantry. Hosted by the Ti Knights of Columbus, the Ò Wing WarÓ will be held Saturday, Oct. 19, at 2 p.m. Admission is $10 a person. Proceeds will benefit the Ticonderoga Food Pantry. The event will give people the chance to sample chicken wings prepared by local restaurants. The wings will be labeled by number so people donÕ t know whose wings are being sampled. People will then vote to determine who makes the best wings in Ticonderoga. Participating this year will be the Knights of Columbus, Best Western Burgoyne Grill, EmeraldÕ s Restaurant, the EMA, Fort View Inn, Hot Biscuit Diner, the Burleigh House, Wind Chill, The Pub, Ti Pi, Wagon Wheel and the Sentinel Grille. Last year the Knights of Columbus won with the EMA and Wind Chill tied for second place, just two votes back. In 2011 the Knights and Fort View Inn deadlocked for first place.
