Mike McCrobie shares a humorous Oswego memory of a doughnut eating challenge at Breitbeck Park in the late 1970s. He and laters peers organized a three dozen glazed sticks wager, the eater faltered, leaving three boxes as a quiet reminder of defeat. The anecdote ends with reflection on the harmless folly.
