2016 WV Hot Dog Festival
Event Sponsors 

First and foremost, we sincerely thank each year's Event Sponsors of the WV Hot Dog Festival! Thank you also to the City of Huntington, WV, and to beautiful Pullman Square, along with many businesses and individuals who come together to provide important services and staff for the annual festival day.

The iHeart Media staff (KEE 100.5; 103.3 TCR Country; Classic Hits B97FM; 106.3 The Brew; 800 WVHU; 107.1 The Bear/FOX Sports 1230 & 1420)is happy to bring the annual WV Hot Dog Festival & fundraiser to the Tri-State each year, and sincerely appreciate every sponsor, volunteer, donation, contest participate, event visitor, entertainer, and participating business that makes the WV Hot Dog Festival possible each year!

We hope we give you a great day to come out to celebrate and enjoy a very unique aspect of our beloved Tri-State area, and we hope you will make a point to come for the day, or for a few hours, each WV Hot Dog festival, and bring family, friends, and the family dog with you! It means a lot to celebrate all the good things about living and working in our wonderful Tri-State region, and that we help kids in our region with the days' fundraising efforts, through our partnerships with Hoops Family Children's Hospital project at Cabell Huntington Hospital. 

THANK YOU for your support of this annual event, to our communities, our downtown, and this important local fundraiser. Enjoy the day! WKEE 100.5/103.3 TCR Country/Classic Hits B97FM/106.3The Brew/800 WVHU/107.1 The Bear/FOX Sports 1230 & 1420
