WIENER WEDNESDAY...what was supposed to be a one-time event, turned into a monthly event. Wiener Wednesday started nearly 5 years ago by three neighbors trying to get rid of an overabundance of hot dogs given to them by another neighbor (she was leaving on a boat for the summer). They decided to throw a hot dog party, called it Wiener Wednesday, and invited all their friends. It was so much fun, t
hat now, every 2nd Wednesday of the month a hot dog party takes place in Fort Lauderdale. Throughout the night guests try different toppings and vote on the best one. A tally of the votes takes place at the end of the night and prizes are awarded to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. It's a great networking event attended by more than 100+ people, many in the yachting industry, and is opened to anyone to attend with hopes that a topping will be brought. We even have our own mascot and photographer for great photo ops. Wiener Wednesday has been featured in The Triton Newspaper, (nautical news for captains & crew) Broward New Times newspaper, and even in an Oscar Mayer blog. And of course, there is a page: http://www.facebook.com/wienerwednesday where you can see photos, find out who won each month, and get details and rsvp to the next Wiener Wednesday. Wiener Wednesday has been very fortunate to have support from many different companies in the area. Originally, Wiener Wednesday was held at the condo building where the neighbors lived, but now is held on the rooftop at the Boathouse of Fort Lauderdale. Our wieners are donated by Grand Western Meat Co, and in the past, Show Management provided wieners. We have had many companies sponsor a Wiener Wednesday including: Marine Solutions, Pioneer Linens, National Marine, Sandbar Fort Lauderdale, YachtSign, The Boathouse of Fort Lauderdale, West Marine, Ferretti Group, Unlimited Marine Services Inc, Treasure Trove and Marine Industry Cares Foundation. We are always looking for sponsors to host a Wiener Wednesday. Go to: http://on.fb.me/1H1KudY to find out how. If you are interested in donating prizes, please email us at [email protected]. You will be featured on our page and mentioned at Wiener Wednesday. Thanks for taking the time to learn about us. If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to reach out to us.
