The temperatures were high, but so were the spirits at this year’s Charleston Regatta Wiener Dog Races & All Breed Costume Contest! ☀️🐾

Despite the summer heat — we had a good turnout of racers, costumed pups, and spectators. Thank you to everyone who came out to cheer on these adorable competitors and help make this one of our favorite events of the year!

A HUGE thank you to Mayor Amy Shuler Goodwin, the City of Charleston, WV, the Charleston Sternwheel Regatta Committee, the Charleston, WV Parks and Recreation, and the incredible Fix’Em Clinic Fundraising Committee + volunteers for all of the hard work that goes into making this event happen. We truly couldn’t do it without you! 👏🏻
