Dachshund Races
This year, the fur will fly at German Fest with the introduction of the First Annual Dachshund Races and Show on Saturday, July 28th, from noon until 4pm.Competing in five separate age groups, the Dachshunds (literally ìBadger Dogsî in German) will go schnoz-to-schnoz for the chance to win the Grand Prize, a full yearís supply of Science Diet dog food. Prior to the races beginning at 3pm, the pint-sized pups will also try to out-primp each other in a no-holds-barred Costume Contest and Dog Show, with prizes offered for the short hair, long hair and wire haired categories.
