Our Hot Dog stand was up and running at the Festival, with Larry Boylan manning the grill for the 35th year.To date, Larry has witnessed 350 sacrificial hot dogs falling to the ground, never to see the inside of a bun.
It’s worth noting he tirelessly manned the grill this year for a total of four hours.
Thank you, Larry, for your dedication to the Rotary Club of Leroy.
Without the following Friends of Rotary members, the stand would not have been able to function: Jeff Halladay, Erin, and Jason Dhaveloose, Ieon Koukides, Steve and Kebby Mayer, Quentin Fitch, Mary Murray, Pete Greene, John Mangefrida, Drew Strollo, Jackson Fix, Chad and Trent Kessler, Ryan McClure, Ed McDonald, Bruce Schofield, and Bob Jackson.
We also had Le Roy students helping: Simon Greene, Laney Christ, Colton Halladay, Connor Elmore, and Brady McClure.
Thank you all very much!
The funds raised will be used to provide assistance to worthy causes in our community!
The burgers were a hit again this year… selling out on Sunday prior to closing. And with the help of Rotary member Bob Bennett, the hot dogs also sold out. Bob graciously purchased 10 packages of Zweigles as he does most years. Apparently, Bob stores them away for the Buffalo Bills Super Bowl victory party. Unfortunately, he had to purchase a new freezer to hold 35 years’ worth of hot dogs!
