Hot Dog Day
Hot Dog Days are informal events that are celebrated in communities throughout the hotdog-eating world, including the USA, Canada, Great Britain and Australia. Their origin is obscure. As the name suggests the festivals revolve around eating hot dogs, but usually there are many other activities such as wiener dog races, root beer chugging contests and face painting. Often the proceeds from a hot dog day are given to charity. Industry groups, such as National Hot Dog & Sausage Council in the USA, which designates July as National Hot Dog Month and July 22 as National Hot Dog Day 2009, encourage, sponsor, and support the events. The council also gives advice on hot-dog eating etiquette, which aren't considered strict, as most Hot Dog Day style events do not adhere to them.

“When hot dogs like Mr. D’Amato or the Republican apologist Roger Ailes say that Whitewater is worse than Watergate, it’s because they’re suffering from a disease. It’s called bull-imia, and it’s the regurgitation of patent hyperbole.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“Sun and moon and day and night and man and beast
each with a splendor
which man in all his vileness cannot
set aside; each with an excellence!”
—Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
“Good-night to the Season!—the dances,
The fillings of hot little rooms,
The glancings of rapturous glances,
The fancyings of fancy costumes;
The pleasures which Fashion makes duties,
The praisings of fiddles and flutes,
The luxury of looking at beauties,
The tedium of talking to mutes;”
—Winthrop Mackworth Praed (1802–1839)
“When a rich man’s dog died, everyone commiserated. When a poor man lost his mother, no one noticed.”
—Punjabi proverb, trans. by Gurinder Singh Mann.
