2009 Wiener Nationals

Last Sunday our church, the Highway Community, hosted its 6th Annual Wiener Nationals. This year we had 54 entrants.















Meet Abby - the Smith's elder dachshund and a past Wiener National Champion. She did well this year... but finished out of the money. That's Dean, the proud owner encouraging her at the finish.



















































This is the newest addition in the Smith household. Meet Hazel. She's a cutie. However, as Matt says 'she was pretty slow' in her first official year of competition.



















The starting gate is where much of the action takes place!










































The competition committee did not allow this racer to compete.













Here's a picture of the eventual winner in action.















My sister is in California and was anxious to see this prestigious event. Thanks Lurinda for sharing some of your pictures for this blog entry! It's fun to take pictures with you.















And this in one of the many competitors that hailed from outside our church. This event certainly is a memorable outreach to our immediate community.















Finally, here's Dean crowning the 2009 Champion!
