The 2023 Pet Parade and Costume Contest scheduled for Oct. 14 at Centennial Park has been canceled due to the chance of inclement weather.

Though we cannot reschedule this event, we are offering a ZOOM option. Even when Mother Nature doesn't cooperate, we can still have fun! So feel free to join us online on 10/14 at 2pm for an online celebration of our pets in costumes (humans encouraged to wear costumes too!).

Remember ALL pets are welcome - birds, lizards, rodents, cats, dogs, even fish (we had a fish named Fred join us online in 2020). 

Each contestant will have a turn to introduce us to their pet and show off their attire and/or any tricks or special talents they might have, although that is certainly not required. EVERYONE will get a chance to vote on their favorite and we will give out some gift certificates to the selected winners.

To join us as a contestant or spectator, log in to Zoom on Saturday at 2 pm!
