The Oscar Meyer ‘Weinermobile’ is making stops at assisted living communities in La Crosse.
The visiting ‘Hotdoogers’ partnered with Meals on Wheels to help deliver meals in the community.
The visit is similar to the original focus of the giant hot dog.
“Doing it during COVID is kind of a blessing in disguise, because the Weinermobile was created in 1936 at the peak of the great depression for the same exact mission: just to let people smile,” said Hotdogger Ashley Ferrara.
If you missed the ‘Weinermobile’ Thursday, it will still be around La Crosse Friday as crews work to bring smiles to the community.

If you have ever dreamed of driving the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile now is your chance.
Kraft Heinz is looking for a team of people to drive the 27-foot orange and yellow vehicle across the country.
Those who are hired will stop at more than 200 events, create social media content, and do news interviews.
The company says they are looking for outgoing college graduates with a love of adventure.
The Weinermobile was first created by Carl Meyer in 1936. The company has unveiled a Weinerfleet, including a hot dog shaped drone in 2017, but canceled events last year due to the coronavirus.
Since November, mysterious metallic monoliths have been appearing all over the world. Houston has one of its own.
Located on 11th Street just east of Beverly, the monolith is identical to the one that was first discovered in San Juan County, Utah on November 18 and many of the dozens that have been found across the globe. It is made of shiny grey metal and is presumably hollow. The shape is triangular, and it stands nine feet tall. Ours also seems to be a tad bit shoddier than some of the others that have been discovered. Employees at the nearby Field & Tides restaurant say that it appeared roughly three weeks ago, and that they had no idea who or what was behind it.
