And The Wiener Is...

It's a one-of-a-kind event in East Tennessee, wiener dog races, held right on the ice surface during intermission.

Anticipation was great as it'd been 3 weeks since the Bears last home game - the Hunnies dancers, the dogs, everyone was raring to go!

"A little bit of impatience,” said Hunnie Renee. “Just ready for it to start and just anxious, I suppose."

Hunnie Sequoia said "I'm excited to see all the dogs run across the ice, and see them make it all the way down the ice."

Melissa and Ryan Jones of Oak Ridge entered their 5-year-old black and tan dachshund named "Spud" in the race and the 3rd time's a charm for this year's winner!
