Amusing Museum

Just when you think you've  possibly heard it all,something else will come along and dash that illusion. There are nearly as many weird tourist attractions as there are the towns that claim them. I think you will agree "The Hall of Fumes" has got to be at least near the top of that list if not at the top.
Every March Odor-Eaters sponsors the Rotten Sneaker contest,this March will be the 38th year the competition has been held. The sneakers are judged by how dirty and stinky they are,also the conditions of the sole,tongue,heel,toe,laces or Velcro,eyelets/grommets,overall condition and most important odor.
The panel of judges include NASA "Master Sniffer" George Aldrich and Rachel Herz a professor at Brown University (that should be P.U. instead of B.U.!) and author of "The Scent of Desire" and "That's Disgusting".
The winner receives $2,500,the Golden Sneaker Award and a supply of Odor-Eaters. The winning sneakers are then displayed in a spot of honor in the "Hall of Fumes" in Montpelier,VT.
