Liberty National celebrates National Hot Dog Month

By Monty Siekerman
As the 1956 song says, “Hot dignity dog.” The Liberty National Bank gave out free hotdogs to those who enter the establishment on Monday.  Why? Because it’s National Hot Dog Month, if you hadn’t noticed.

Did you beat the world record held by Joey Chestnut who gobbled down 74 hotdogs and buns at Coney Island (appropriately) on July 4th (approximately because Americans ate 150 million wieners that day)? Hope you didn’t try it, this takes training, according to a story in Sports Illustrated.

Americans consume 7 bullion hotdogs between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

From 50 school years ago, here's the 1967-68 students in Diversified Cooperative Training.

A lot of work and effort went into planning the Ada VFW car show on Main Street in downtown Ada on Saturday, but the weatherman had his say, too.

Even though the forecast called for rain during most of the show, the planners proceeded to set up for the event, anyway. And, it’s a good thing because the forecast was mostly wrong.
