Chattanooga Voters To Get Free Hot Dogs On Election Day

Wednesday, October 29, 2008

Chattanooga area voters will get a free hot dog on Tuesday just for voting in the general election. Chattanooga Hot Dog Company, a sidewalk hot dog cart on Market Street, is offering a free Great American Hot Dog to all voters on election day.

Voters simply show their "I Voted" sticker or voter registration card and get their hot dog free. No strings attached.

Ron Lowe, co-owner of Chattanooga Hot Dog Company, said, "We're glad to be Americans, and we are thankful for our voting privilege. We're just giving our fellow citizens an extra incentive to cast their ballot. There's nothing like a Great American Hot Dog to celebrate America's outstanding freedom to vote."

Chattanooga Hot Dog Company is located on the sidewalk of Market Street at 12th Street, just south of the TVA and Cigna building. The sidewalk cart is open weekdays from 11 a.m.-1:30 p.m., but will remain open until 3 p.m. on Nov. 4 to serve Chattanooga voters.
