For the love of hot dogs
It’s mid-April again and we all know what that means. Whether you’re a student at Alfred University or Alfred State or a community local, you’re probably gearing up for this year’s Hot Dog Day.
Hot Dog Day, which is actually a three-day extravaganza, is a time for music, comedy, grilled meats and general fun-loving recreation in what we hope will be prime spring weather. So, if you’re already planning on attending the hilarious comedy of Kevin Hart and the sweet, covered hooks of Fleetwood Macked, we’ve got the rundown of everything else to keep you busy during this event-packed weekend.
