The Sam Houston Race Park is set to host an evening of family fun and music on Saturday, July 17, 2010.  The day begins with the ever popular 3rd Annual Wiener Dog Races, presented by Petco and Barks 5th Avenue. The adorable Dachshunds race just a short 25 yards down the track to win cash and prizes.  There’s also a pet costume contest, which is always an amusing event to watch!

After the Wiener Dog Races, the fun continues with live music between the day’s horse races at SHRP’s “Party on the Patio”.  Once the races are complete, the evening fun begins with the 2010 Live Verizon Wireless Summer Concert Series featuring Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers.

 What a great day for the family,  pets and music lovers, all just a few minutes away from Towne Lake! Visit the SHRP website for more details.
