Wiggle Butt Races? Have a Fun Day of Cuteness Overload!

Wiggle butt races return to Canterbury Downs in Shakopee, MN on Sunday, July 30th!  That's right the Corgi races are back.  The late Queen of England famously favored this breed.  In total the Queen owned 30 Corgi's during her 70-year reign.  And it's no wonder why, they are super cute especially when they run and their little butts wiggle all the way.

According to Canterbury Downs website:
