On Thursday, July 9, local wait staff will put their tray-balancing skills to the test at the 5^th Annual Waiters’ Race, an event exclusively held by the Princeton Merchants Association (PMA). The event kicks off at 4 p.m. at the Princeton Shopping Center, Harrison Street (no rain date is scheduled). The event is a celebration of the servers and staff who take care of over 60,000 guests a week throughout Princeton. Waiters and waitresses from Princeton area restaurants will race to complete a course while balancing two full glasses of water and two full BAI Beverage bottles on their trays. Last year there were 17 participating restaurants and many are expected to be back in 2015. The fastest racers – who don’t spill their teetering cargo – will take home cash prizes, an overnight stay at the Nassau Inn, champagne, cooler, and gift cards. Those interested in participating need to pre-register.  The fee is $20. Six participants are allowed to register from each local restaurant.  All participants will receive an official race day tee-shirt and goodie bag.
