Could a summer’s day have been any better?

To celebrate National Hot Dog Day, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Salt Lake teamed up Wednesday with local Walmart store associates for a fun fishing outing followed by a hot dog barbecue at Willow Pond in Murray

Children from the Sugar House, Lied and Eccles summer camps paired up with Walmart volunteers to spend time with the kids, fishing with donated poles and bait, followed by a hot dog lunch

Later, Walmart donated the grill to Boys and Girls Clubs along with a $1,000 grant.
