Pet Parade

You're invited to Burlingame's first Pet Parade!
 
Broadway Merchants will celebrate the completion of Broadway's beautification with a hometown parade on Saturday, May 22, featuring pet owners with their dogs, cats, frogs, hamsters, lizards, you-name-it! Stuffed animals are welcome, too!
 
Parade participants will meet at 8 a.m. in the parking lot near Broadway and Capuchino Avenue (behind Foto-Foto), where crepe paper will be available for last-minute decorations. Judging will begin at 8:15 a.m. sharp. At 9 a.m., Mayor Rosalie O'Mahony will cut a ribbon stretched across Broadway at Capuchino, then she will climb aboard a 35-foot trackless miniature train to lead the parade.
 
The parade will end in the parking lot on Chula Vista next to Pick of the Litter, where prizes will be awarded. The Peninsula Humane Society and Homeless Cat Network plan to have pets available for adoption in the parking lot.
 
Kids of all ages are encouraged to turn their red wagons, bicycles and kiddie cars into whimsical "floats." There will be prizes for the best float or wagon, best owner/pet combination (most look alike, best dressed, etc.), best dressed group, and most interesting or unusual pet.
 
Nursery schools, school groups, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts and other community groups are invited to participate, as well as marching bands. There is no age limit for participants. Pets of all types-even stuffed animals-are permitted.
