On Saturday May 28th, the 21st Annual Pet Parade will be taking over the streets of Eastsound!
Kaleidoscope is at it again, preparing for the island’s furry friends parade, starting location is School Road at 10 a.m. for judging!As usual, the parade will start at 11 a.m. and end at the Eastsound Village Grounds in the heart of downtown.
Slight changes to the route were made this year so that we could accommodate for the island’s hoofed animals. That’s right! The 4-H club, Orcas Trailblazers, and the 2011 Children’s House Mayoral Candidates will be joining the fun!
BIG thanks to our island businesses that are sponsoring 16 exciting categories for this year’s pet parade! Also available at the end location will be kid friendly food (donated by the Lower Tavern!) and customized Kaleidoscope tee-shirts.
