The first annual Hawaii Wiener Derby is set for Saturday, May 23, 2009 at Thomas Square from 10am to 2pm. I’m a little bit disappointed that I’m just learning about this event because it mixes two of my favorite things together – Hawaii and Dachshunds. Does it get any better than that? 😉
Here are a couple of Web sites where you can learn more about attending this event:

KGMB 9 discusses the derby and holds an in-studio race
Now, I’ll leave you with a photo of two of my favorite Dachshunds, Bonnie and Reno, who would definitely be fierce competitors in any wiener derby. 🙂
See my previous post for other Memorial Day Weekend Events in Honolulu. There’s loads of good stuff going on!

Wow! – Wiener dog racing! Now I’ve seen everything! 🙂
David – they would really “cut the mustard” at any race. 😛
Reminder: A good pun is its own re-word. 😉
(Sorry about that – I couldn’t stop myself)
That’s a great shot, but I bet there’s a stadium groundskeeper cringing at the thought of those two dogs on his perfectly manicured football field.
The folks at the office are gonna love the Derby race link. 🙂
Neat find.
Hi Kris – that football field is actually artificial turf at my high school stadium. That’s why it looks so well kept. 🙂
Here’s KGMB9’s coverage of the event. http://kgmb9.com/main/content/view/17735/40/
I love the picture! These two dogs looks so adorable… 🙂
@ maylea – thanks! I’m wrapped around their paws. 🙂
Aloha!
