Erie needs help with wieners
Sausage, hot dog and kielbasa desperately need names

ERIE, PA -- We know you have all seen the Smith's Wieners running around Jerry Uht Park, but the poor mascots do not have names...so the Erie SeaWolves organization is asking for our fans help!

Fans can submit their best idea for a name for the three Wieners. We need a name for the Smith's Hot Dog, the Smith's Kielbasa, and the Smith's Italian Sausage!

The top 10 names submitted will be chosen by the SeaWolves staff, and fans will have the opportunity to vote on which names will win using our web poll on www.seawolves.com. The names and winners will be announced at the SeaWolves game on the July 3 fireworks night when the 'Howlers host Akron at 7:05 p.m.

"The Wiener's have been around for so long, but yet they have gone nameless," said SeaWolves Assistant General Manager Rob Magee. "This is a fun way for us to involve our fans in one of the biggest parts of our show and fan favorite, the "Smith's Wiener Race." HOW TO ENTER & THE GRAND PRIZE:

Fans who would like to submit names can simply log on to www.seawolves.com to submit their entries.

There will be three separate winners in the contest, one for each Wiener name. Grand prize winners will receive a prize pack from Smith's Provision and the Erie SeaWolves valued at more than $250!
