Brat Trot Emcee Manuela Horn shows off her seven new ‘Wandering Brat’ friends she recently met at the Tin Room.

Back by popular demand, Organizers of the Burien Brat Trot –  coming Sunday, Oct. 4 –  have created a fun new Instagram photo contest where you take pics of ‘Bret the Brat,’ a costumed plastic hot dog!

Bring your “Bret the Brat” with you wherever you go between Sept. 15 and Oct. 1 – and take a photo of him in the following settings:

  • A beach
  • A sporting event
  • A cook out or barbecue
  • A park
  • A Burien bar or restaurant

Post photos of your “Bret the Brat” in the five locations above, tag them with #thewanderingbrat and #burienbratrtrot and be entered to win a $100 gift card to Olde Burien’s Tin Room!
