The brats, actually people dressed up as giant sausages, took a ride on the wienie wagon to publicize the Burien Brat Trot 5K, a great day of German-style fun and exercise presented by the Tin Room Bar and Theater on Sunday, Oct. 9.

Brat Trot proceeds will go to Safe Kids King County and Highline Schools Foundation for Excellence.

After their thrilling ride, the brats retired to the Tin Room where they were welcomed by proprietor Dan House with some of their favorite beverages and foods.

Burien Carnival Days at Town Square Park lasts through Sunday, Sept. 25.
