Maybe move our A Fantasy Fur Pet Parade to the BW in early or late summer. Maybe some of the Asbury doubters can be won over with all that fuzzy warm parading on the boards instead of the previous route. Give it major hype, welcome out of town pets. It's a huge draw elsewhere. New Orleans' version was the most fun for me. We could top it here. ====================================== Hoboken Well-behaved pets and their owners are invited to join the parade from _Sinatra Park_ (http://hoboken411.com/archives/973) to _Pier A_ (http://hoboken411.com/archives/978) . Pets should be leashed, caged or otherwise suitably restrained. Trophies will be awarded for Best Costume, Best Group Costume and Best Pet/Owner Look-Alike. _http://tinyurl.com/2walyh_ (http://tinyurl.com/2walyh) New Orleans Get ready for a PET-ACULAR event as thousands of four-legged friends and their owners hit the streets of Soulard to celebrate the 15th annual Beggin’ Strips Barkus Pet Parade. It’s one of the largest pet parades in the world, and 2008 marks its 15th anniversary of being the place to be seen for pet owners. There will be plenty of tail-wagging good fun as dogs and other lovable pets parade in their colorful Mardi Gras-themed costumes. Animal participants are subject to the approval of Mardi Gras, Inc. and the St. Louis Department of Animal Control based on appropriateness, temperament and health. _http://tinyurl.com/2l72sn_ (http://tinyurl.com/2l72sn) Boston's Sox Pet Parade
