NC Wiener Roast 2009

Dachshund Fundraiser at the Castle
May 16, 2009

This was our first year at the NC Wiener Roast hosted by the Almost Home Dachshund Rescue. They did a super job! There were lots and lots of adorable doxies everywhere with lots of fun activities such as wiener races, costume contests, kissing contests and wiener bobbing for wieners!!! The Doxie Crafts gang missed most of it but heard lots of excited comments at our vendor table. We did have the best spot to see every one's dachshund!

One funny spot, a bigger non-dachshund entered the room and all the doxies had a bit of an issue with his appearance! There were at least 10 dachshunds all barking at the poor dachshund supporter.

We did have a chance to take George to the toy dive. He really did not want to leave and wanted to come back. Here is a video clip:





The first race was the smallest dachshund, which George won second place. Now, that does not mean much since only 2 dachshunds actually ran the length of the race track. Here is a video clip of one of the races:


The winner of the costume contest was Santa Scene, below. Here is also a picture of one of the entries, Oscar Mayer (pictures thanks to Oscar's mommy, Carloyn L.).
