“After Robert Goulet rapidly opens six cans of pizza sauce, he rapidly tosses his wig to another Robert Goulet who promptly carries 100 pounds of flour back and forth.
All of which is merely a predecessor; a teaser to the Goulet box folding and Goulet obstacle course.”
A surreal, ‘too-much-pizza-before-bed’ dream?
Nope.
Try Pizzafest 2009, held at the Village Green in Fairhaven, on Sunday, June 21st.
The festivities featured teams of four from five well-known, local pizzerias: Cicchitti’s, Seven Loaves, Boundary Bay, Fairhaven Pizza and of course, Pizzazza, who, as the only ones in costume, channeled the iconic Robert Goulet (as played by Will Ferrell, ala Saturday Night Live). .
From the campy to the culinary, the day was chock full of fun events for all in attendance. In addition to the relay—won by Cicchitti’s—there were booths with pizza from all five eateries.
The judging involved two criteria: the judges’ opinion itself and the amount of plates left at each booth.
After a neck and neck contest, Cicchitti’s won again, with Pizzazza coming in a close second.
The event featured music entertainment from the Librarians. The Bellingham Circus Guild, Mallards Ice Cream and Jen’s House of Chai were all on hand, along with additional booths with extra community resources. Live Consciously was the organization that conceived and planned the event. Not a bad afternoon for $10.
The Pizzazza crew was understandably a bit exhausted after their busy afternoon. When asked to give their take on the events of the day, the responses were aloof at best.
“Goulet!”
“I don’t have the time! I don’t have the time!”
On any other day, that might seem strange.
