Event Overview
Bill Christman has immersed himself in corndog lore for the last 30 years. For the last 4,000 years corndogs have played a major role in civilization. Equaled only by the technology of plumbing. These theories intersect with the lost tribes of Israel, the Middle Eastern origins of Nougat, and the age of aquarius.
In this class you will learn about the true history of the Corn Dog and it's many claims to inventorship. For one hour you will have the opportunity to be among the life's work of an American Artist and Sign Painter who has dedicated much of his career to developing art about one of America's greatest assets, the Corn Dog.
All class members will receive 4 issues of The Corn Dog Watchdog Advocate Gazette, a corn dog, mustard, and one beer. If you would like to BYOB you are welcome to do that as well. Refrigerator space will be provided, but space is limited.
