MORNING HEADLINES | Seeing a big yellow hot dog rolling down a street is an experience you won’t forget. Just like you won’t forget climbing aboard Oscar Mayer’s famous Wienermobile.
You can check it out in person over the next three days as the vehicle winds its way around the Lowcountry to the delight of children — and adults who are young at heart.
Here’s how you can take closer looks at the grand canary yellow sausage on wheels:
- See it today: 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the North Charleston Farmers Market, 4800 Park Circle, North Charleston.
