It’s back: Wichita can commune with the country’s most famous rolling wiener this week
You can’t help but smile when you see a giant, wiener-shaped vehicle rolling down the highway.
Starting on Wednesday, Wichita will get another chance to test that hot dog of a theory when the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile rolls back into town.
Wichita can ketchup with the 27-foot-long vehicle during four different stops, starting on Wednesday and running through Saturday.
Its first stop will be outside the Wichita Thunder game at Intrust Bank Arena, 500 E. Waterman, from 3 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday. Then, on Friday, the wiener will be parked from 1:30 to 5 p.m. at Botanica, 701 Amidon St.
Its final stops in town will be on Saturday, when the Wienermobile will be set up from 8 a.m. to noon at the Kansas Grown Winter Farmers Market at the Sedgwick County Extension Center, 7001 W. 21st St. North. After that, it’ll head over to Wichita State University’s Ulrich Museum of Art, 1845 Fairmount St., where it will be parked from 12:30 until 2:30 p.m.
People who stop by can inspect the rig up close, have their photos taken with it and even get free Wiener Whistles. There will also be several young spokespeople, known as “hotdoggers,” staffing the Wienermobile. They’ll be prepared to toss out every hot dog pun possible in the English language.
