Don't miss out on the 2nd Annual Poodles on Parade Extravaganza
scheduled for the weekend of Friday, May 18th - Sunday, May 20th in
lovely Rancho Bernardo, CA.

The weekend of poodle palooza fun kicks off with a Yappy Hour Friday
night, May 18th, 5:30 -7:30 pm at the Ed Brown Center in the Rancho
Bernardo Community Park. Humans and poodles will enjoy an outdoor area
to relax and romp all to ourselves and can stay until 9:30 pm. Due to
possible allergies, humans are asked to supply food for their own
poodles. Pay that evening with cash, check or credit card ($20 per
person). RSVP is requested by emailing PoodlesOnParade@gmail.com.

The fun continues Saturday morning, May 19th with the parade, contest
and other activities at Webb Park! The cost to register for the event
is $30 per poodle. While check in for pre-registered and non-registered
parade participants begins at 8:30 a.m., you will want to get there a
bit earlier to grab some coffee and check out the vendor booths as well
as the wonderful raffle items. You can register the morning of the
event, but pre-registration is strongly encouraged.

The parade, which is a casual stroll around Webb Park begins
promptly at 9:30 a.m. The parade will be followed by five contests which
any of the poodles may participate in. Judges will include the local
Kahoots Pet Store manager, a local groomer, and a local TV newscaster.

The contests are as follows:

1) best hairdo

2) best trick

3) best costume

4) best human/poodle matching costume

5) best group participation with a banner

The contests will be followed by demonstrations which include a poodle dancing routine and a police K-9 unit.

There will be 20+ vendor booths to explore all morning both pet
related and human related, including a mini petting zoo, and several
non-poodle rescue groups with pets to adopt. There will also be one food
truck and lots of raffle items so don't forget to bring your wallets!

Immediately following the events on Saturday, individuals will have
an opportunity to have professional photos taken of their poodles. Five
photos of your choice for $25.

The fun continues Saturday night, May 19th, with a final yappy hour,
5:30 pm - 7:30 pm at the Ed Brown Center in the Rancho Bernardo
Community Park. Humans and poodles will enjoy an outdoor area to relax
and romp in all to ourselves and can stay until 9:30 pm. Due to possible
allergies, humans are asked to supply food for their own poodles. Pay
that evening with check, cash, credit card ($20 per person). RSVP is
