Lightweight Division (dog’s name \/ owner’s name) Middle-Lightweight Division Middle Division Middle-Heavyweight Division Heavyweight Division Madison, WI – September 15, 2009. The word “wiener” will take on a whole new meaning on Saturday, October 3, as the Madison Mallards have announced the season’s last special event, a German-themed celebration aptly named “Ducktoberfest” at the “Duck Pond,” will include Dachshund Races presented by Animart, beginning at 3:30 p.m<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Normally, whenever “wiener” is exclaimed at the ballpark, it’s from the mouth of PA announcer Aaron Sims and takes place whenever a foul ball is hit by a batter. Those lucky enough to grasp the ball can then exchange it for a free “wiener” at the main concession stand.<\/p>\n The Dachshund races will have five heats according to the dogs’ ages:<\/p>\n Heat #1: Puppies to 1-year olds Each race will be 90′ (the distance from 1st to 2nd base) with all five winners facing off in a final championship heat to name an overall “top dog.”<\/p>\n Animart will award prizes as follows: Those interested in registering a Dachshund will receive 4 complimentary tickets to the event. <\/p>\n The first-ever “Ducktoberfest” celebration will run from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. and will include a host of fun activities for people of all ages, including:<\/p>\n
