Big Balloon Parade - Dachshund Participation

During the Big Balloon Parade there were many dachshund events going on. There was the 14th annual Wienerschnitzel Wiener Nationals dog race before the start of the 2009 Port of San Diego Big Bay Balloon Parade. 

The day started with a breakfast for the entrants. Then on to the Race itself. The Race started with a run off between Princes Destiny, and another dachshund. Followed by a few practice runs to warm the dogs up, and an introductions of the dogs to be raced. Then on to the main event, the race for the fastest dog. Sully from San Clement walk away with that title.

Holiday Bowl Parade - 2009

We have approval to participate from the Big Bay Balloon Parade aka Holiday Bowl Parade, Wednesday, December 30.

The parade organizers expect our club to have between 25 & 50 people in our group. At this point we have a packet with instructions as to when & where to be, to form the parade. And a page of San Diego City ...rules. Some possible seating for those not wishing to walk (limited ability) might be available (something like 2 tickets). This is A Mighty Fun event for all with the parade going along the embarcadero for about 1 mile. Well behaved dogs on leash are welcome we are thinking. We are working on maybe a rendevous point to rideshare.

Check out our EVENTS webpage on SDDC or the Holiday Bowl webpage.

I believe the tickets their website suggests is for Grandstand seating, standing alongside Harbor Dr. is free of course.
