Oscar Mayer Wienermobile to make more QC stops

Written by Andrew Davis — 1 Views

Hot dog!!! Less than a month after they cut the mustard in the Quad Cities, the Oscar Mayer Hotdoggers Ketchup Kaitlyn and Benny Buns will be back this weekend.

The iconic 27-foot-long Wienermobile will stop at three area Hy-Vees to “ketchup” with local residents and offer good-natured fun, games and prizes (with relish, natch).

The Wienermobile schedule will be:

  • Thursday, Aug. 4, 1-4 p.m. – Hy-Vee, 2200 W. Kimberly Road, Davenport.
  • Friday, Aug. 5, 9 a.m.-12 noon – Hy-Vee, 4064 E. 53rd St., Davenport.
  • Sunday, Aug. 7, 9 a.m.-12 noon – Hy-Vee, 1823 E. Kimberly Road, Davenport.

There are six Wienermobiles traveling the U.S. at once, in different regions, but they go wherever there is a need, Hotdogger Kaitlyn Bross said last month. They are covering Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan; will travel 300 days over their year (putting about 20,000 miles on the Wienermobile), and have just been Hotdoggers since early June.
