COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- It is hard to believe but this week National Hamburger Month will be officially half over. To keep the Craver momentum moving, White Castle is expanding the Slider-bration™ that honors Cravers and their dedication to the Original Slider®.

White Castle created National Hamburger Month 22 years ago to honor the iconic American delicacy, the hamburger.

For the entire month of May, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, a different White Castle restaurant will be hosting a two-hour long Slider-bration™. During that time, a Castle somewhere across the country will be offering the Original Slider® for just 25 cents, limit 10 per customer.

This Wednesday, May 15, from 6 – 8 p.m. White Castle will expand Slider-bration™ to every region within the chain offering Cravers across the land the opportunity to Slider-brate. Twelve White Castles will simultaneously offer the Original Slider® for just 25 cents.

"This is an exciting event for our legion of Cravers," said Jamie Richardson, vice president of White Castle and an ambassador of Craver Nation. "We are thrilled that Slider-bration™ offers our loyal guests a chance to share a memorable moment with family and friends."

Slider-bration™ kicked off at 12:01 a.m. on May 1 with a "blue carpet event" in Columbus and will continue for 744 hours, the entire month of May, until the final Slider-bration™ in St. Louis.

Sliderbration.com was created especially for National Hamburger Month so Cravers can find when and where the next celebration begins. The website offers a countdown clock for all Slider-bration™ events happening within the next 24-hours.

For those Cravers who want to plan further ahead, they can receive email alerts 48-hours before the Slider-bration kicks off at their favorite Castle.
