Buda – On April 23rd and 24th, the Lions Club will be hosting its 25th annual Wiener Dog Race in Buda City Park with a grand prize of $500 for first place. This will be the first race since the COVID-19 epidemic began, with the previous two years of races being cancelled due to the virus.
Registry for the event is currently active, with participation costing $25 per dog, with a $5 late fee for registry the day of. For those whose dogs might not have been on their a-game, there is an option for their dachshund to have another shot; for $10, the hound can be placed into the next available race. In addition, if you’re afraid that your pooch isn’t quite up to snuff to be a purebred weenie dog for the onsite veterinarians, there is also a mixed breed race available. No medical documents will be required on registry, but owners will be expected to provide them if necessary.
