Jacob Smith became the second contestant eliminated from Fair Factor 2009. He joines Christopher Malone, who was elminated Tuesday.
A field of five contestants started the competition Monday hoping to win a $500 cash prize from The Lebanon Reporter, RadioMom 91.1 FM and PFC.
Smith said he thought he would be eliminated Wednesday.
"I didn't finish my plate yesterday," he said.
The remaining contestants -- Charity Arnold, Meagan Cross, and Dayna Wadkins -- continued on with Wednesday night's challenge.
Since it was Kid's Day at the fair, the contestants had to play a children's game and eat one of a kid's favorite meals.
First, all for contestants went bobbing for pig feet, then they ate spagetti and meatballs, which was actually live green worms and hog fries. Wadkins was the only contestant to clean her plate.
The winner will be announced at 6 p.m. Thursday on Center Circle.
For Tuesday's event, the contestants auctioned a baked good for the crowd.
Charity Arnold won the auction when her Texas brownies sold for $20, In all, $47 more dollars were raised for The Caring Center.
Charity earned first dibs on the prepared meal, which include eel, pig stomachs, hopping hot frog legs and fish cakes in wasabi.
To start Monday's Fashion Review event, each received a package of animal parts, including tongue, an octopus tentacle, chicken feet and intestines. Then they sewed the parts oo their material and showed off their creations on the runway.

The second event begins at 6 p.m. Tuesday. Contestants were asked to bring a baked good, in honor of the Open Show Baked Good auction. They will begin that day's competition by auctioning off their item, with all proceeds going to The Caring Center. The winner will have an advantage vs. the other competitors for the second part of Tuesday's challenge.
The evening continued with the first-ever celebrity Fair Factor competition. Fair board member JIm Hundley, Sheriff Ken Campbell, Western Boone Superintendent Judi Hendrix, Clerk/Treasurer Debbie Ottinger and Mayor Huck Lewis all joined in the fun.
Each was given a chicken, which they had to pluck, using the feathers to make a head-dress. Then they each stepped off the stage and on to the dance floor to do the chicken dance.
The crowd made donations to The Caring Center to choose the winner. It was Judi Hendrix who came out on top raising $90.75. A total of $188.49 was raised overall.
