Grienermobile Fleet takes off across the Country...

Up to two weeks ago, the promotions and marketing teams of the Grienermobile have taken off across the country in an effort to blanket many major cities with news of Oscar Mayer's growth and development in the environmentally friendly markets. The teams have started to arrive in their target cities and a number of events are scheduled to take place. 

Central Park- Manhattan, New York

The weekend of May 15-16 will see the opening of the Oscar Mayer Concert Series. John Mayer, a major wiener in his own right, will be performing a live free concert to kick off the festivities. Also performing will be Ani DiFranco, various Elvis impersonators and David Lee Roth.

The Fens- Boston, Massachusetts

May 15-16 the entire Boston Red Sox team will line up on duck boats floating down the Charles river as thousands of Yankees fans all wearing pinstriped uniforms and wielding the new hot dog launchers will line the shores of the river. As the boat slowly makes its way through Boston, the fans will unleash millions of hot dogs at the players.

Mt. Rushmore- South Dakota

Repelling Wiener race. Contestants dressed as cocktail wieners will compete in various competitions. The first and obviously most riveting is the repelling race whereby the competitors repel off George Washington's forehead to the ground below. Lesser known competitions during the event include craps on Teddy Roosevelt's double chin and the scramble up the south slope, seen below.
