It's 'National Corndog Day'

Thanks to Corn Commentary for letting us know that today is National Corndog Day.

(The day even has a song - visit Corn Commentary to have a listen.)

Here is a bit of information from a news release announcing this year's "NCD":

Officially-registered NCD parties have doubled each year for the past five years. Corndogs have also gained in popularity. Foster Farms, the nation's best selling Corn Dog producer, made enough corndogs in the past year that if you were to line up the sticks, you'd cover 59,331 miles - enough to circle Earth almost two and a half times!

The guys enjoying corn dogs in photo are Don Hutchens, Nebraska Corn Board executive director, and Bob Dickey, a member of the Nebraska Corn Board and current president of the National Corn Growers Association.

The photo was taken at the recent Commodity Classic - where Dickey was honored as president of NCGA. For a few more photos on the event - which was a '50s theme (to help explain Hutchen's hair and the bowling shirts) - click here.
