Kiwanis Hot Dogs On July 4

What would the Fourth of July be without hot dogs?

Well, it would still be the country’s birthday, and a tribute to the Founding Fathers, and a stimulus to patriotic fervor.

Okay, then… Let me re-phrase the question: What is the national food on the Fourth of July? Hot dogs, of course, and what better place to get your hot dogs on the Fourth of July than the Kiwanis stand in Lakewood Park?

The hot dog stand will be located for the benefit of parade participants and followers, on the Park grounds, facing Lake Ave., a few yards west of the entrance, about halfway between the entrance and the Stone House. It will open at 10:00 a.m. and will remain open until the hot dogs are all gone – estimated to be between 1:00 and 2:00 p.m. Condiments to suit every taste – shredded cheese, relish, mustard, catsup, onions – will be on hand. Candy and snacks will also be sold from what has come to be known as “Pete’s Table.” Proceeds, as usual, will go to charities benefiting children and families of Lakewood.

Or to put it another way: What would the Fourth of July be without the Kiwanis hot dog stand?
