The
Day of the Dog!
Our
Tri-State Area is home to an unusually 
large number of hot dog
businesses, many decades-old, family-owned businesses that shine
as a true area tradition.
We invite you to come on the last Saturday in July each year where we
collect a dozen of the top hot dog businesses in the area together so you can bring the family (and the family's pets) 
to enjoy contests,
music and entertainment, cars and motorcycle
shows and samples of all these wonderfully delicious hot dogs
(as much as you can eat!) in one location
(Pullman Square on 3rd Avenue in downtown Huntington).
Come and treat yourself ("and your little dog, too") to the Sixth Annual West Virginia Hot Dog Festival™, Saturday, July 31, 2010.
Thanks to
Our ANGELS!!
Sincere thanks to our 2010 Sponsors!
