The Event & Participation

This years event will be our biggest ever and clearly the most fun with the Sommerfest 2010 Costume Extravaganza!

Who is the cutest, can dress most like their owner, has the best costume and much, much more.  This fun event is a great way to smile into summer, so come on out and have some fun with DRBC.

The focus is all fun for your and your beloved doxies.  We are looking for the wild, the funny and the downright most adorable for this year's winner circle, so pull out all the stops and join us!  This fun filled event will end in a parade around the grounds.  Let's party like it is 1995!!!  See ya there.


Please remember that all proceeds from this and every Dachshund Rescue of Bucks County & NJ event are applied to the rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming of the breed we love so very much, so please help us help them! 

Get ready to party and pick out your favorite look.  We are so there and hope you will be too!!!!
