Horse Trading Days in Zelienople continued Saturday, July 19, with the Hot to Trot 5K and the dog show.
But the hot dog eating contest was one of the highlights of Saturday’s activities, bringing a unique kind of competition to the street fair event. As participants raced to eat as many hot dogs as possible, Marvin Mustard, an anthropomorphic hot dog, danced and cheered on the contestants.
In the end, Jack Legath took home the glory by eating 30 hot dogs in 10 minutes.
