Did You Get Your Hot Dog?

Tuesday, June 28th, 2011

Even though the weather was a little less than perfect last Friday afternoon, that didn’t stop customers from stopping by our branch offices to enjoy a Hot Dog and Soda at our 15th Annual Hot Dog Day celebrating First Savings’ 89th Anniversary.

According to the Official Hot Dog Meter, 999 of the tasty morsels were devoured during the three hours of serving!  That works out to be 333 per hour and 5.55 dogs per minute…pretty impressive!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hello and mark you calendars for next year’s special 90th Anniversary Hot Dog Day on Friday June 22, 2012…we’re planning some extras to mark the occasion!
