Clues

This is a 12-stamp series dedicated to family memories and family businesses. (Both of these need to be cherished and preserved, in my opinion.) We salute our favorite hot dog stands, located all the way from Stratford to Naugatuck, CT.
These are "quickie" boxes: located in high traffic areas, no pads, no ink. Each of the 12 bites from the footlong hot dog is numbered and contained in a pouch made from red and white checkered tablecloth. Please be quick to collect the stamp, and thorough in hiding it again. We hope that you will have the time to enjoy the specialities of each location. For many summers our family certainly has.

SECOND BITE LETTERBOX
Valley Farm Drive-in

Located at 1995 Boston Avenue at the Stratford/ Bridgeport line. Dad would walk us here on a snowy night for the most delicious hot cocoa in the world. Today grandson TJ had a chocolate shake. Skip had a vanilla one; both made with real milk and ice cream. Don't miss their wonderful Kielbasa and Kraut sandwich. Bill: $6.78

CLUE: Go to the side of the stand where the picnic tables are. Follow them toward the back of the parking lot until you come to a metal guard rail. Follow the guard rail to its end. Look down to the left to see two sections of concrete curbing forming a step. Behind a piece of dried wood and underneath the raised section of curbing, you will find the checkered pouch and the second bite letterbox
