The Dachshund Derby, which began races at noon following a costume contest, featured several heats of determined Dachshunds of all sizes and shapes, from smooth-coated minis to standard-sized wire-haired dogs.
The crowd hugged the race track, located near the Courthouse Museum, as Tony Barthel announced the races.
There was furious clapping and laughter as the races unfolded.
