Summer is known for the opportunities it presents for outdoor activities. Camping, swimming, and hiking are all excellent options, but by far the most popular summer activity is enjoying some delicious barbecue. In fact, July is National Picnic Month, inviting families all over the country to visit their favorite burger restaurant or fire up the grill themselves. On July 19^th, barbecue enthusiasts will be celebrating National Hot Dog Day in Rochester, NY, with Zweigles® hot dogs from Steve T. Hots & Potatoes.

Here are three traditional and tantalizing reasons that will convince you to come down for a Zweigles hot dog right away:

• Participate in Tradition: Beginning in 1991, National Hot Dog Day has been celebrated each year with a communal cookout. The first celebration was held on Capitol Hill, where delicious hot dogs were served to political leaders, lawmakers, and sports legends alike. Your family will love participating in a tradition that is over 30 years old, and a tasty one at that!
• Get Inspired by Competition: A few weeks before National Hot Dog Day, on July 4^th, there is an annual hot dog eating contest televised for America to enjoy. This year, tune in to watch the incredible eating power and build up your appetite for some Zweigles hot dogs and the best burgers in town at Steve T. Hots & Potatoes.
