ITS THAT TIME AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! COME ONE, COME ALL, JOIN THE CIRCUS!!!
That is- come join the Paws Park “Cirque de Canine” for the 2013 Mummers Parade on October 19. Staging starts at 1pm (location TBA on FB), … the parade starts at 2pm and usually runs approx. 2 hours.
We will have a float with a big top, animal cages, and circus music; as well as some candy (additional candy donations always welcome) and dog biscuits to give the crowd.
We are expecting (or will assist) all participants to plan an ‘act’ for in front of the judges. We will be glad to assist with this during our staging time.
Everyone will need to be in costume, including dogs. If you are uncomfortable dressing up or your dog protests, we ask that you wear a Paws Park shirt and we will have Paws Park bandanas for the puppies. I will also have extra clown noses and so on. As some of you know, Halloween is my favorite holiday….lol, so anyone needing assistance with a costume etc., please message me.
Here are some ideas….please let me know if you decide on something starred, (*). Costumes: Ideas for in front of Judge’s Stand
