The Dust Up Projects Dog race

In what may well have been the most hotly contested event of the entire weekend — and possibly the loudest and most enthusiastic — the Dust Up Projects Dog Race did not disappoint. The four-legged field brought plenty of energy, plenty of barking, and — for a few competitors — absolutely no idea what the assignment was.

This year’s champion was Bandit, who stormed home in style to secure the win! Congratulations to Bandit and his very proud support crew, Nikki!
Many thanks to Harps and Benny at Dust Up Projects for your continued sponsorship
