Announcing a new Meetup for Dachshunds Making a Difference!

What: Oktoberfest Dachshund Race!
When: Sunday, September 12, 2010 1-4 pm
Where: Kikugawa Restaurant
43 Main St SE
Minneapolis, MN 55414
(612) 378-3006
Price: $20.00 per person

Oktoberfest falls on the same weekend as the Wayzata races, but we're going to try and not compete with their timeframe too much. We'll be doing races, a costume contest and possibly hurdles this year- all included for a fee of only $20. Now that is a competitive price!

All proceeds go to Dachshund Rescue and we'd love your participation.

To register your pups, please shoot me an email with the following:

  • Your name
  • Your address
  • Your email
  • Your phone number
  • Your dog(s) name(s)
  • A creative fact about them that would entertain the crowd!
  • What events you will enter your dog in (costume contest, race, hurdles)

Racing fees are only $20 per family of dogs. Any extra contributions will go to our core mission of saving dachshunds in abusive and/or neglectful situations. You can pay via PayPal to confirm.
