Appalachia Matters: Best WV Hot Dog, Alpacas, Business Ethics, Groundbreaking Rotarian

On At The Leadership Table, General Hoyer sits down with Dr. Cate Johnson from the Chambers College of Business and Economics at West Virginia University. Dr. Johnson shares insights into her work with the Kendrick Educators and Fellows Programs, initiatives designed to expand opportunities for people of all ages to study economics and ethics and then stay and support our communities right here, across the Mountain State.

In our Rooted in the Mountain State segment produced by the West Virginia Department of Agriculture, we will learn about Moon Raker Alpaca farm in Jackson County. The farm is operated by Karen Arbaugh.

Americans consume approximately 20 billion hot dogs annually, which averages about 70 hot dogs per person, per year. Consumption spikes significantly during the summer, with roughly 7 billion consumed between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Hot dogs are served in 95% of US homes according to the Hotdog and Sausage Council. In West Virginia, just like the pepperoni roll there is the West Virginia dog style hotdog which for me includes chili (not sauce), cole slaw, mustard, ketchup, and onions, some may add relish. To find the best hot dog in West Virginia, Jay Silverman of Kanawha County has visited every county and stopped at 300 hot dog joints. He has chronicled his journey in what most people call a documentary and what he calls a dogumentary. This week we have a discussion with Jay about his travels and dogumentary.

In our final segment we will talk with Marci Wyer, she was one of the first women in West Virginia to join Rotary when she joined Ripley Rotary and one of the first to be a club president in the state. The Ripley rotary is 100 years old this year and Marci will share her rotary experience with us.
