Article source for : OLD WEST END FESTIVAL POOCH PARADE
Here's another invite, that may be of interest to some of our doggy-lovers (HistoryMike?)
============================================================================
Here is the flyer for the first ever dog parade to be part of a street Festival in Toledo (that I know of anyway). Please share with other pet owners who'd like to participate. This event is not limited to dogs in the neighborhood. Event details can be found on the flyer. I hope this is a fun event for all and will continue to grow each year. As in the style of Carnival and Mardi Gras, we're hoping to see lots of costumed pets participate in the King Wamba parade- the wackier and zanier the costume, the better! You can dress up too, it's all about celebration. So get Fido ready, stuff some treats in your pockets and head out to join the rest of us Festival morning. See you there!
