Bring Your Pet to Kaleidoscope’s Pet Parade!

I can hardly wait to be in Kaleidoscope’s Pet Parade on May 25!

Saturday, May 25 Registration at 10 a.m. in front of the Elementary School

The 23nd Annual Pet Parade will be taking over the streets of Eastsound on Saturday, May 25.

Kaleidoscope Preschool and Child Care Center is at it again, preparing for the island’s furry friends parade. The starting location is School Road in Eastsound at 10 a.m. for judging. As usual, the parade will start at 11 a.m.

Participants will  mosey down School Road to North Beach Rd, take a left on A Street, right on Prune Alley, right on Main Street, then back on North Beach Road to the Eastsound Village Green Band Shell. Rumor has it that Children’s House Mayoral Candidates will be campaigning so come schmooze with your friendly, furry politicians.

And new this year, parade participants will be divided into 2 categories:

1.     Children and pets that WANT to be categorized and judged for trophy award to be presented on Eastsound Village Green

2.    Participants want to be eligible for Pawki’s Best ADULT Entry Gift Certificate and are there primarily for the parade experience.

All participants will register, get photographed by Pawki’s and get goodies of their choice from Pawki’s.  Entries will NOT be allowed to enter either judging line after 10:45, so make sure you are not on “island time.”  This new system will reduce the time it takes for the judging and awards, and increase the enjoyment of the parade experience for ALL.

BIG thanks to the island businesses that are sponsoring 17 exciting categories for this year’s pet parade.  The local business support is always encouraging, with many sponsors saying “YES” before they are even asked!

Also available at the end location will be kid friendly food (donated by The Lower Tavern) and customized Kaleidoscope T-shirts.
