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 specialties of each location. For many summers, our family certainly has.
THIRD BITE LETTERBOX
Botsford Drive-in
Located on Rt 25, North of Swendsen Granite Works and South of Sand Hill Plaza. You can't miss the classic red and white striped stand. Every other Sunday, we would drive grandma and grandpa to Fairfield Hills Sanitarium in nearby Newtown to visit an aged relative. We accepted being part of this loving but sad and scarey visit because it meant a stop at the Botsford Drive-in for a footlong dog. You won't be able to resist their Family Special: 5 hotdogs and a bag of fries for $9.95. Or their Spudsters and Krabbycakes. Today, TJ had beer-battered shrimp and seasoned fries. Bill:$9.25
CLUE: Park in the far left corner of the lot behind the stand. There is a strip of trees to the left. One thin, nobby one stands out from all of the rest. Go to the base of this tree, under a flat rock, to find the checkered pouch and the third bite letterbox
