Welcome to the Krewe of PAWS Royal Court Contest! Our 10th Annual Krewe of PAWS Mardi Gras Pet Parade is right around the corner! The parade will roll through Antique Alley on 1/30/16. What would a Mardi Gras parade be without a King, Queen and their Court?! Here is your pet's chance to be in the spotlight on this festive day! This fundraiser is a fun way for your pet to win a spot on the Krewe of PAWS Royal Court while helping us raise funds for our programs.
Our King & Queen will get to ride in golf carts (with their owners) at the front of the parade. Your pet will have his or her name on the front of the cart. Our Dukes & Duchesses will walk with their owners at the front of the parade behind the King & Queen.
