The "Wiener Walk" will feature canine
pals parading down Spring Street with
their parents and friends, along with local
personalities and other hot-dogging
citizens, music and fun. Of course, all
participants are encouraged to dress
according to the spirit of the event.
Eureka Springs' Mayor Dani Wilson will
proclaim the day as "Oscar Pryor Wiener
Day" and the Pryors, the first family of the
day, will ride as Grand Marshals as they
escort parade participants and watchers
to Pied Piper Pub for an outdoor reception
featuring chili dogs, soft drinks and Flying

Last year's Wiener Dog National attracted over
eleven thousand enthusiastic fans to cheer the
field of 64 super-athletic wiener dogs.
Oscar Pryor Wiener certainly has his work cut
out for him as he has already won out in a field
of 425 competitors to race with 64 semi-finalists.
A win in his next qualifying race will earn him a
run with seven other finalists for the coveted
Wiener's Circle.
Last year's "wiener" ran the final 110-yard
straightway race in 12.62 seconds, and O.P.
assures his fans that he's up to that challenge!
