There will be all kinds of activities for families before and during the game on February 23rd. A Kids Zone will be open from 5-7 PM just inside the main lobby near the Hall of Fame wall and feature bouncy houses and games. Doors will open at 6 PM and the first 2,000 fans through the main entrance will receive a FREE Wiener Dog rally towel, compliments of Sioux Nation Pet Clinic. Once inside, fans can meet and greet with some lovable adoptable dachshunds from Dakota Dachshund Rescue next to the Stampede Pro Shop as well as outside section 104.

Fans can make a sign for their favorite wiener dog at free sign making station just outside Section 101. Free face painting and balloon twisters will be available outside Section 106. Head upstairs to the second level and take your picture at the Fighting Wiener Dogs photo booth outside Section 205. Fans can take their pictures in front of a wiener dog backdrop holding the medals that three lucky dog winners will be going home with at the end of the night.

The wiener dog races will take place during the first and second intermissions. The first intermission will feature two heats of 20 dogs each. The top two finishers from each heat will advance to the Final Four championship race during the second intermission, featuring a winner-take-all race. A special on-ice awards ceremony will take place after the race with awards being handed out to the grand champion and second and third place finishers.

Right after the game fans can meet in Sections 103 and 104 to take part in a live auction with Last Chance Auction Company to benefit Dakota Dachshund Rescue.
