The Charleston Gazette's front page shot and story of the FestivALL wiener dog races, "and the wiener is . . ."The photo features one of the winners, "Saugy Bottom Boy" who looks like a real thoroughbred. Our kids along with some of their friends are in the background.
Week long FestivALL kicked into high gear yesterday with events throughout Charleston. Downtown was busy with Smoke on the Water and the West Side was packed at the wiener dog races. If you twitter - pick up the latest @festivall.
My family and I spent a great day taking in the events. We started out the day dressing up and being photographic models for K.D. Lett's visual arts piece that he is working on as a part of FestivALL. He is taking photos of individuals, groups and families at the Charleston Ballet Building on Virginia Street. Then it was off to the wiener dog races. After that we swung by Ellen's Ice Cream for some "drive by" ice cream and it was off to the West Virginia Cultural Center Theater to catch the amazing work of the Squonk Opera group who performed a custom creation about "Charleston".

Bob,
Festivall has definitely started off on the right paw (or maybe left paw), depending on which one Saugy crossed the finish line first with. It was good to see you at the Weiner Dog races!
Festivall this coming weekend will be jam packed with music, food, drink, and friends. It will be great!
