CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – A couple of Hotdoggers were in town this week at the Kroger on Dover Crossing. Hotdoggers are the folks who travel the country in the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile.
“We are just trying to make people smile,” said Wienermobile driver Brandon Mazzaferro, who goes by the professional name of Bun Man Bran. “We go all around the country stopping in a different city every week and try to make people smile with this goofy hot dog car.”
