Free Hot Dog on a Stick! Free Hot Dog on a Stick! Free Hot Dog on a Stick!

Today is your day.

Tipped off by Canan Tasci's Montclair Now blog, we were surprised to learn that today is free Hot Dog on a Stick day.

You would think that would be something we would've known about before today. Hmmm.

Regardless, you've still got time to take advantage of the deal, since the primary color-clad gals and guys don't start handing out the free batter-dipped dogs until 5 p.m. And they'll continue to hand them out until 8 p.m.

It's in celebration of the chain's founding in June 1946 by Dave Barham, who passed away in 1991.

Don't know if the offer includes their veggie dogs, but it's definitely one free dog per customer.

Inland Empire Hot Dog on a Stick locations include: Inland Center (San Bernardino), Montclair Plaza, Redlands Mall, Moreno Valley Mall, Victoria Gardens (Rancho Cucamonga), Galleria at Tyler (Riverside) and Westfield Promenade (Temecula). If you want to include the deserts, there's Westfield Palm Desert and the Mall at Victor Valley (Victorville).
