Friday night, East Tennessee's fastest dachshunds will once again race on the ice from goal line to goal line - it's a real crowd pleaser!
Back in November, Tootie took top honors in the Ice Bears first round of wiener dog races, and she may be back to defend her title! "She came out strong, about 2 races ago.“ Tootie's owner Angela Swider said. ”We didn't do any training this time, but she did really good!"
Throughout Friday evening, the Ice Bears will give special recognition to the game's host charity - The Mid South Chapter of The National Society of Multiple Sclerosis. A silent auction will help create awareness of MS and raise money to fight the disease that attacks the central nervous system. "We have some items that have been donated to us from Clay Walker. He's a country music star and he has MS." Kathy Aldrich, an Ice Bears fan and MS sufferer said. “MS is a disease that they don't have a cure for. It can range from numbness, tingling, loss of vision, not being able to walk."
This Sunday is fan appreciation day - if you still need an Ice Bears' autograph - be sure to stick around after the Ice Bears/Cottonmouths' game - all Knoxville players will be signing autographs. Also on Sunday - East Tennessee firefighters will face-off during intermission in an ice hockey battle of the badges.
If you have a wiener dog that wants to race, call the Ice Bears front office - 525- p-u-c-k.
