Charlie Hot Dog Fund Raiser In Petersburgh

By

The Petersburgh Fire Auxiliary will host one of its annual Charlie Hot Dog Fund Raisers on Friday, September 21, at the Fire House. The sale will begin at 4 pm and last as long as the dogs themselves.
We recognize that we ran out far too quickly at the last sale so this time we’ve doubled the number of dogs we’ve ordered to ensure no one will be disappointed.
The cost is $9 per dozen, $4.50 per ½ dozen or $.75 each. To place your pre-order, call Janet Snyder at 658-3053 or 339-7311 prior to the 21st.
We look forward to seeing you and Thank you for your continued support!
