Any fellow Knoxville dog owners out there should join me on Saturday, February 21st for Mardi Growl! Its a costume parade through downtown for dogs and their owners. The parade starts at 11 am in the Old City and ends at Market Square. Right now pre-registration is available for $8 per dog, with all proceeds benefiting the Williams-Young Animal Center (Knox County animal shelter). You can print out the registration form online and send it in by February 13 or register online. After that it is $10 per dog. Everyone who registers gets a doggie goodie bag! Last year over 350 people registered!One of the labradors from the movie "Marley and Me" will be the Grand Marshall of the parade, and there will be a contest of best dressed dogs for his royal court. You can also browse the grooming and vaccination stations and food vendors that will be onsite. There will be Mardi Growl dog shirts and photos on sale as well.
My husband and I have registered our 3 dogs. Now just to figure out costumes! Hope to see you there with your doggies too!
