2012 Barkus Theme:

" All American Barkus:
A Salute to Presidents, Pioneers,
and Pawtriots "

Sunday, February 19
Parade at 2pm
Check in at 12:30 in Mitchell Park

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 and stripes, apple pie, beads, and boas!

We limit the parade to 200 dogs, so send your entry today. This event is free and open to everyone, but there is a $5 fee for participants to enter the parade. Pre-registration and confirmation is required.

There will be a costume contest and prizes will be awarded in each size group
(small, medium, large, and really large dogs) for Best Dog Costume,
Best Dog/Owner Costume, and overall Best of Show.
