Long Shots
It’s impressive to see a Shaquille O’Neal slam dunk. But watching Jason “Wee-Man” Acuna attempt the same feat would be even more entertaining. That’s kind of the idea behind the sporting event happening today at The Woodlands (9700 Leavenworth Road in Kansas City, Kansas). During the Wiener Dog Nationals, the stubby-legged midgets of the canine world get to do their best impressions of graceful greyhounds, tongues and tails whipping in the wind. The dachshunds don’t compete against the big dogs, but both breeds will be racing — the wieners nine times and the greyhounds 15. The first post is at 1 p.m. Admission is free. Call 913-299-9797 for more information.
