It's our 10th Anniversary and you will love the theme...All American Barkus: A Salute to Presidents, Pioneers, & Pawtriots
If you're a history hound, this salute to America will make you howl!
Whippets dressed like Washington, Labradors like Lincoln, and
Pekingese pulling pioneer wagons...join us in saluting the individuals and events that have shaped our country - from the Founding Fox Terriers to Airedale Astronauts/Salukis in Space to Pit Bull/Poodle Presidents. Think stars & stripes, apple pie, beads & boas!
Sunday, February 19, 2012 (the day before President's Day and 2 days before Mardi Gras) Parade at 2 p.m. Check in at 12:30 in Mitchell Park, downtown McKinney.
