Spring Garden Township, Springettsbury Township, West York Borough, York Area Regional and Northern York County Regional police departments as well as the York County Sheriff's Office competed in the Sunday, Oct. 7, event that featured hot dogs grilled, boiled and smothered in all sorts of toppings, from glazed donuts to crab dip.
