(Salt Lake City, Utah, July 6, 2009) – Nothing is better, or more American, then eating a hot dog in the blistering heat of July. If you don’t believe it, ask any of the 250 military families who chowed down their FREE hot dog at the Hogle Zoo this past Friday.
In association with the Hogle Zoo’s Military Appreciation Days, LowVARates.com honored our country’s armed forces with the ultimate American gift, the hot dog.
The day was memorable as thousands of military personnel poured through the crowded front gates of the Hogle Zoo to enjoy the various festivities.
As the families entered the zoo, they were surprised with a coupon for a free hot dog courtesy of LowVARates.com.
“Everyone loves a free hot dog,” said owner of LowVARates.com Eric Kandell. “When we heard the Hogle Zoo was honoring our country’s armed forces, we really wanted to be a part of the activities.”
