This annual country fair begins with the cutest pet parade, followed by the nationally known Wiener Dog Races where the speediest dachshunds take to the track. This fundraiser for the Buda Lion’s Club includes a BBQ cook-off, live music, arts & crafts, games for the kids, and lots of entertainment.
