Overcast skies did not slow down annual Hot Dog Day festivities. Alfred State, Alfred University, and the community enjoyed the latest rendition of the tradition started in 1972.
“This is one of my favorite days of the year. I am thankful for all the Pioneer athletes, my colleagues within the athletic department, and all the volunteers from across campus that came together to help with this event. The smiles, the laughs, and the high fives are the best. I am already excited about next year.”
