RUNNING OF THE DOGS,SUNDAY JULY 29, CHECK-IN STARTS @ 11AMTHE DACHSHUND DERBYThis Dachshund Race, is the off-the-wall “brain child or pet project” of the late great Patrick T. Dineen. Although he was of Irish decent, he never missed a German Fest and he had great love for his three loyal wiener dogs – Lisa, Libby and Little Cash. He donated his time to bring his Dachshund Race idea to German Fest a few years ago. Dineen originally brought the Race as a one year attraction but it seemed to have “legs” - lots of them! Now the Dachshund Derby is a permanent fixture each year at German Fest thanks to an Irish gentleman by the name of Patrick T. Dineen! Danke Mr. Dineen! We miss you and so do the dogs, Dawg! DACHSHUND DERBY + WIENER DOG COSTUME CONTESTThe fur flies Sunday afternoon in the annual Dachshund Derby und Wiener Dog Costume Contest! There are five age categories.
