How many bites does it take to eat a 6-hundred foot long banana split?
You can ask the dozens of people that came out today....

for the second annual Salem's Largest Banana Split Bash.
The split this year doubled the length of last year's.
It was held at the Salem Ice Cream Parlor and it was free for everyone.
The banana split wasn't the only attraction though.
There was live music, special areas set up for children and face painting - as well as plenty of other great food.
