March, Strut or Pitter Patter in the 8th Annual Hillsboro Dogs on Parade – July 23, 2013
Hillsboro Tuesday Marketplace invites friendly dogs and their two-footed walking partners to strut the streets in their best costumes at the 8th Annual Dogs on Parade. Dog demonstrations start at 5:30, the parade at 7 and the contest is at 7:30. Prizes will be awarded for best costume, best owner/dog look-alike, littlest adult dog (over one year), largest dog and best trick. Registration is a suggested donation of $5 per person to support the care of the animals at the shelter.
Kimberly Maus from KPTV will be announcing our special guests at this laugh-out-loud event will include dogs for adoption from the Bonnie L. Hays Small Animal Shelter and Animal Shelter volunteers will be available to lend a “paw” to children by sharing information on dog safety and humane care.
Donations to enter the family-friendly parade benefits the Bonnie L. Hays Small Animal Shelter.
