I BELIEVE THEY STARTED SELLING THOSE GREAT CORN DOGS LONG BEFORE I WAS BORN IN 1954, HOWEVER I'M SURE BILL WAS AROUND, AND PROBABLY FIRST IN LINE TO BUY A DOZEN OR SO BACK THEN... LOL

Actually Bill probably did eat his first corndog at the fair with his Grandpa Eisenlauer who lived on the corner of E 30th and Dean. And you can ask Bob his record for corn dog eating...he used to have a contest to see how many he could eat. Usually it was more than we wanted to pay for!

I believe it was 1903 when the fair was in Iowa City.

1954 is the year i think but i am not sure. Someone needs to ask bob or anna or john or dillion how many hot dogs a day did they stick during the fair in the day. Anna Bob and I did it one year it was the best year ever at the fair that i remeber. Then it was johns turn he only lasted a year i think and he wanted something more challenging. Then now we got Dillon in there sticking he did last year and this year to he is starting to hate hotdogs now i can tell.
