CANFIELD, Ohio - If you go to the Canfield Fair long enough, you start to memorize where everything is. Ricci's Kwiki has set up shop on the same corner, selling a "hot dog on a stick," since 1948.

"When I talk to customers, when I'm slinging dogs, I feel like I'm selling part of our history," said Aarim Shoemaker, part of the third generation of his family to work the stand.

It's been in Phyllis Shoemaker's family since 1973, four generations. Over the years, the family's spread out all over the country - but one week, every summer, they all come back to this corner.

"I have nine children and they're scattered around, so this is kind of like a family reunion. Every year we converge on Canfield. This year, from New Hampshire, North Carolina, Indiana, and Maryland," said Phyllis.

"This year my mom got off of work early, so I drove out with my mom, my dad, and my brother in a minivan," said Aarim.

Once they all get here, everyone pitches in. The kids work their way up the ladder, making sure the family tradition continues.

"You can't come into the front unless you can serve. You can't serve unless you can make change - and you can't make change unless you can count back," said Phyllis.

"I'm looking forward to one day being able to sit out back of the stand and relax while the younger generation takes over," said Aarim. "It's gonna be great."

Of course, despite all the tradition and the family reunion factor, people still wouldn't be coming back every year if it didn't taste good. They've got that covered too.

"We make it the way they were made in 1948," said Phyllis. "The flour used to come from a company in Chicago and we would order it. Eleven years ago when my sister went to order the flour, they sent the check back and said, ' we don't make it anymore. You were the last people in the United States who used that flour.'"

They convinced the company to hand over the formula, and now the Shoemakers make THAT, too; still using the same recipe for 68 years.

"There isn't another one like it," said Aarim. "There are other people that dip dogs, but most of its kind of a pancake batter, maybe with a little bit of cornmeal in it. This is real corn bread."

Real corn bread and real family values. A reunion every summer. Everyone knows the place - and what's on the menu.

The Shoemaker family only does one fair a year, so this is the only place in the world to buy Ricci's Kwiki corndogs before the stand goes back into storage until next year's Canfield Fair.
