Wednesday's dollar hotdog night was an outstanding success. Thanks to the entire Mavericks team for supporting the event. A special mention to those who worked tirelessly in the kitchen - Kerry Schentag at the grill, Darren Heinz on cash and David Hammel distributing drinks and chips and providing support where needed. Thank you to the spouses: Sharon Schentag, Loretta Hammel and Marilyn Emann, for keeping the kitchen tidy and helping everything run smoothly. Special out of town helpers were the Emann kids - Tannis and Matt from Calgary and Sarah from New Zealand. Their help allowed dad (Moose Emann) to work the crowd, hand out icy treats and ring the cowbell.
Members of the league and spouses along with our fans came out in large numbers to support the event and we are grateful for that. The final number for hotdogs sold came to 410. While we are still well short of the volume sold by the Toronto Blue Jays, we are gaining with steady increases every year.
The closest guess to hotdogs sold was 409 with the winner being Rick Parker.
Again thank you all for working, eating and simply going along with a fun evening.
