Weinermobile arrives by sea
The Oscar Mayer Weinermobile is always on a roll, but on July 24, it was also on the Cape May-Lewes Ferry.
The iconic 27-foot-long vehicle made a grand entrance aboard the MV New Jersey at the Lewes terminal around 7:15 p.m.
“BBQ Bridgget” and “Relishing Riley,” known as “Hotdoggers,” were in the cockpit for the Weinermobile’s first-ever trip on the ferry.
Even though it is a hot dog on wheels, the Weinermobile received a hero’s welcome.
Passengers waiting to drive on the ferry jumped out of their cars for selfies. One of Delaware River and Bay Authority’s K-9 officers and his dog posed for pictures.
The Weinermobile has been around since 1936. Oscar Mayer now has six Weinermobiles that travel the country year-round.
The Weinermobile will be at the Weis Market in Lewes from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thursday, July 25; at Weis Market in Millsboro from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday, July 26; and back at Weis Market in Lewes from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday, July 28.
Home2 Suites in Lewes is hosting Weinerpalooza from 5 to 7 p.m., Sunday, July 28. The celebration will include activities for kids and, of course, free hot dogs.
