Welcome to our 3rd Annual Plank Road Tap Room Sausage Social! The social is a celebration of all things sausage…oh, and beer!
Here at Plank Road Tap Room, we dig the long dog. We’re celebrating this proud pup breed with a day of doggie fun, delicious sausages and fine German beer.
Klaus Krombarker, of Krombacher spokespup fame, will be on hand as Master of Ceremonies along with his brother, Wilhelm.
The Day’s Events:
Grilled meats of the sausage variety provided by Le Truff Noir
1pm - A Krombacher Pils Stein Holding Competition
2pm - An All-Breeds Fashion Show
3pm - Daschund Races (only 12 dogs max. We will have 3 heats of 4)
3:30pm - All breeds race (just for fun)
4pm - Event ends. Cool off in a puppy pool!
You will need two people, one to hold onto the dog at the start box and one to catch the dog at the finish line. If you do not have a second person let us know and we will call for volunteers from the audience, (but lack of familiarity with the end catcher may work against you!)
People do not run with the dogs from one end to the other. The fun part is to see which dogs run and which visit with their dog buddies instead of running.
We will run two qualifying heats, depending on the number of wiener dogs entered. Heats will have up to 4 max dogs at a time per judges discretion. A semi-final race with the fastest dogs will be run to determine dogs to advance to the grand finale race.
In the grand finale runoff, the dog that crosses the finish line first will win the title of Grand Champion.
We do ask that you do not toss your dogs to start the races as it is better for them and you as they do run a lot faster when their feet stay on the ground.
No throwing balls or toys as the dogs have to run on their own, please.
For their own safety, all dogs must be on leash until they are ready to run the race.
Any dogs that jump the start whistle will be disqualified at the judges’ discretion.
Race judges will have the final say on who wins, if finishes for 1st and 2nd, look too close to call.
Costumes encouraged. There will be prizes for best costume as well as 1st, and 2nd place finishers in the race.
Bring the pups (that do well in crowds) and enjoy a fun afternoon. Please remember that we are adults 21+ for this event without exception. Cheers!
