Saturday we got up and headed to Stonewall Jackson Middle School (it was a High School when I was there), for the Wiener Dog Races. Woot Woot! Never attended a Wiener Dog Race! This should be interesting.
They even had a costume contest first! That was interesting to say the least! Princess Beatrice here was actually a boy. So Im not sure if the dog took the female or the male prize! ha ha
There were numerous races and each 'heat' was very funny! Some dogs took off like a rocket, while others just attacked the dog in the next lane! Very amusing!
This school was the High School that my Mom and Dad both attended and when I was in high school, they were a huge rilvalry in basketball. But now its a middle school!
We didn't stay for all the races, but we did want to go to the Chili Cook-off downtown on the Levee! So we headed there next! They have really done alot to the riverfront. There is a space, like an ampitheater with cover and a stage over the water. Its beautiful. Im sure there are alot of great shows that play down here.
There were three huge rows of tents set up with chili everywhere. There were chili cookers from everywhere!
This guy stopped me and wanted a picture! And I even ended up with a boa! Interesting!
Im sure theres roadkill in this chili, but Im not telling!
Parker was enjoying himself, can't you tell!
And Parker loves ice-cream! Me too. He didn't share much though! We are having a great weekend!
We sat down for awhile and listened to the band. Parker even got up and danced too!
This guy wouldn't let me take a picture unless I took one with him but he made me cook the chili! I never found out if it was any good or not!
And Parker made me take a picture with the Pirate that never wears his eye-patch! Parker even asked him to put it on, he wouldn't!
We had a blast. A fun filled Saturday. It sprinkled for a bit but not bad enough for us to get wet. This is a great weekend!
