  • Bohemian Tavern 48 North 9th Street Cottage Grove, Oregon, 97424 United States (map)

Celebrate America's 250th Birthday with an afternoon of hot dogs, friendly competition, cold drinks, and community spirit at Bohemian Tavern!

Whether you're looking to test your eating skills or simply cheer on the competitors, this Independence Day event promises plenty of excitement while supporting a great cause.

Contest details:

  • 🌭 $5 entry per round

  • 🌭 Four rounds throughout the evening

  • 🌭 Each round lasts 15 minutes

  • 🌭 Contestants must eat 10 hot dogs and buns

  • 🌭 The first person in each round to finish wins $20 cash

Contest Schedule

  • Round 1 — 4:00 PM

  • Round 2 — 5:00 PM

  • Round 3 — 6:00 PM

  • Round 4 — 7:00 PM

Can't make the first round? No problem! You can join any remaining round and still compete for prizes.

At the end of the day, the competitor who eats the most hot dogs and buns across all rounds will take home the Grand Prize Cash Pot. The jackpot started at $50 and has already grown to over $100 thanks to generous community donations, with additional contributions increasing the prize as the event approaches.

Best of all, every entry fee will benefit Steve Williams, a longtime friend of Bohemian Tavern who recently experienced a medical emergency and could use the support of the Cottage Grove community.

Bring your friends, grab a drink, enjoy the festivities, and help celebrate Independence Day while making a difference for a neighbor in need.

This event is for guests 21 years of age and older.
