Hollywood St. Patrick's Parade:
Sunday March 15th. Parade starts at 11am so please be on site and ready to go by 10:30am. It is at the same place - Fernwood/Cleary Middles School at NE 33rd and Hancock. Parking in school parking lot. This is a short parade, we are done by about noon - easy for puppies and seniors as if they get tired they can drop out, go over one block and pick up the group for the finish. We will be towards the front of the parade right after the bagpipers. After we are done there is a group photo session, please join us to commemorate this year.
All hounds are welcome that are - Socialized, Bathed and Brushed. Dressing up and decorations are also lots of fun. Don't forget to bring poop bags and water.
Kell's Irish Festival:
Please contact me before you come so that I know who is coming and at what time they are coming. Again, for this event it is very important that all hounds are very friendly, rock solid, bathed and brushed. Also, remember group manners, don't just let strange hounds rush up to another or crowd another - as friendly and easy going as they are this event is noisy, distracting and can be stressful. We recommend 1-2 hours only of participation especially for those that are new to this event.
Kell's is on Saturday March 14th and Sunday March 15th from 11am to 3pm for our hounds. After 3pm the noise level increases and hurts the dogs ears. The Fun Run is on Sunday so streets will be closed off for the morning so some of us arrive early at 8am and meet for breakfast before going over to Kell's - you are welcome to join us. You may also prefer to do the Parade on Sunday and if your hound isn't too tired come over to Kell's afterward for a little bit.
Look forward to seeing you all,
