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.
