FOOTLONG (fifth bite; relocated 7.31.12)
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 traffics 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.
FIFTH BITE LETTERBOX (relocated 7.31.12)
Sweets and Eats (Now closed!)
Located on RT 67 in Seymour; Exit 22 (Bank St.) off of Route 8 in either direction. If you are exiting from the South, you will take a left at the bottom of the exit, follow along the overpass on Rt 67, through the traffic lights until you come out at the other end. If you are exiting from the North, the tan and lavendar hot dog stand is directly across the street when you come to the end of the exit.
This stand has not been selected for its menu, although they offer 24 flavors of soft-serve ice cream, and Energy drink Floats (YIPES!). It's the name that has sentimental value to us: Skip would pick TJ up at Meade School, and driving home, they would play a word game based on "Sweets and Eats." (Beets and Feets, Treats and Peets, etc.)After digging for garnets in Roxgury, TJ ordered a German Chocolate cup and Skip had Butter Pecan. Bill:$6.26
CLUE: In the left corner of the parking lot, there is a clump of trees on the side nearest to the sidewalk. At the base of the largest oak, there is a rock. The fifth bite letterbox is under the rock.
