Dog lovers will celebrate all things dachshund at the upcoming Wienerfest Home County Festival this Saturday.
EMBRO - It's that time of the year again - The Wienerfest Home County Festival is coming back to the Embro Arena on June 24th.
The annual wiener dog celebration will feature over 80 vendors alongside a craft market and food trucks.
Organizer Linda Collier tells Heart FM about some of the events lined up.
"Everyone comes to see the wiener races! Then we have the bobbing for wieners, yogurt licking contest, costume contest, and of course we have the puppy races. We have the 'Mamma Said Daddy Was a Dachshund Race' and that's for all the dogs whose owners really thought their daddy was a dachshund but not quite sure how it got to be that kind of dog."
Collier adds they have something special planned for
"We're asking people to dress in red and white because at noon we are going to try and form a Canada Day flag with the dachshunds dressed in red or any dog dressed in red and white. We're going to take an aerial (photo) and see if we can form a Canada Day flag for
The doors will open at 9 a.m. and things should wrap up at 4 p.m.
You do not need to have a wiener dog to attend; everyone is welcome. There is no admission fee but donations to help the Tiny Paws Rescue will be accepted.
