Greetings!
Please join CSNC on Saturday, February 26 for tail-wagging fun at our Mardi Paws 2011 celebration!
This year's event will include toe-tappin' live music, small decorated floats, a barrage of beads...and your adorable costumed pets who will, as always, steal the show!
On parade day the main street at Mercato will be filled with costumed dogs and their human owners, who throw beads and parade favors to the crowds lining the streets. Small floats (decorated golf carts, bicycles and wagons) will be everywhere and Mardi Gras music will fill the air.
An awards ceremony will be held immediately following the parade with prizes awarded for pets and floats in different categories, including the crowning of 2011's Mardi Paws Pet Royal Court.
The festival begins at 11:00 a.m. with the parade stepping off at 1:00 p.m. at the Main Street in Mercato in Naples, located at the intersection of Vanderbilt Beach Road and US-41 in North Naples. Pet related vendors will be on site along with rescue and shelter groups with loving pets available for adoption. Other festivities will include facepainting for the kids, a pet psychic, raffles and prizes, giveaways and so much more! |
