Last year, the Atlanta Nathan’s qualifier and the corndog eating contest held at the Corndogorama music festival were held the same day. After participating in both events and winning the corndog contest in 2006, Dale Boone said he would choose the corndog contest over the hot dog qualifier next year. He will have to make no such decision this year since Pine Magazine reports the festival will start July 12.
