Hello Lew and back in my high school days I played the drums and we would do 5 to 6 parades every year for Halloween.  Not many cities out here have them.

Lew, we had a pet parade in my neighborhood for 4th of July, and many homeowners dressed up their cats and dogs!  Was very fun.

Good morning, Lew... love these kinds of parades being a dog and cat mom... not that my babies would allow me to dress them up and parade them!

Lew Corcoran - No greater gift can one give themself or their family than a pet. The Halloween Pet Parade sounds so cute and entertaining too. Who could resist? This will be great time to take lots of pictures too! Pets seems to draw people together and they smile more too.

Lew Corcoran - The Halloween Pet Parade is adorable! Halloween means more to children when pets can be part of the celebration. Gone are the days when homeowners had to hide their pets behind closed doors. These beautiful creatures are very family oriented. Seeing them in costumes will increase endorphins and dopamine. When people smile, they are less stressed. Say no to drugs. Say yes to pet adoptions.
