Club Shirt Info Below:
Doxie club shirts can be purchased from ACC Embroidery at East 501 Sprague in Spokane, WA. Just call
them at 509-455-8187 and tell them you want the Dachshund Club of Spokane burgandy polo.
The logo on the shirt is similar to one on this site above left that says Dachshund Club of Spokane and
the writing is in tan. Very nice shirts for around $20 each plus tax. The printer will print one at a time
or many more at the same price as our design is on file with them.
You call them to order and they have them done in a few days. You then pay to pick up your shirt.
Too simple.
The normal club shirts are burgandy polo shirts, but some members are having the logo put on other
shirts with other colors. That is just fine, but remember the logo is tan so pick a color where you can see the
logo. You can order any shirt you want from the T-shirt place or bring in your own to have the logo added for around
$10.
WIENER LOVERS UNITE!

So bring your own chow, plates, etc. and make an extra sandwich or three

keep dogs away from it!

up after your own dogs = park rules.

August 1: Hillyard Festival, North Spokane, last parade of the year for the Wiener Train.
We will be decorating the Wiener Train at 8 a.m. with the
group photo around 9:00 a.m. or so. The parade starts at 10 am. if I remember right. More details on where
we meet soon. Besides helping us decorate the float by unloading and jumping in there to help please.
The parade itself is about one mile through North Spokane.
Many folks walk their dogs on leashes, but some push decorated strollers or pull wagons. Some put their dogs on the
train if they get too tired also. This day is usually sunny and it warms up fast so wear layers of red, white and blue
unless we change the theme this year. They sell a lot of fun items at area Dollar Stores to decorate you and your doggy.
After the parade you can buy some lunch at the vendor's booths
or bring a picnic lunch too. Do not forget your folding chairs as we sit in the park visiting and having fun at the Hillyard
Festival itself.
Please keep your dogs on leashes and bring supplies to pick up
after your own dogs = park rules. Thanks!
