Pet paraders-heads up, get a move on

The 2017 pet parade is scheduled for 12 noon on Friday, August 11th at Carter County Fairgrounds. Sign-up for parade entries starts at 11:00 a.m.

As mentioned in last week’s issue, the two decorating categories this year are: Famine or Feast (keeping with the Days of ‘85 theme, “Pioneer Days to Modern Ways”), and Wacky, Tacky, Crazy—Odds and Ends (to give pet paraders lots of room to be creative).

Gather up your favorite pet, whether it be a canine, feline, bovine, equine, porcine, carpine, avian, or exotic, and make your way to the pet parade! Anything goes in the pet parade as long as you can handle it!

Judges this year are Birgit Brower, Delbert Justice, and Marge Greibel (Plevna, MT).

The announcer is once again Susan Tooke (the greatest). Ringmasters are Kenzie and Kendra Tooke. Tallymasters are Kerri and JoAn Marshall.

Prizes will be awarded as follows:

1st place in each category - $15.00

2nd place in each category - $10.00

3rd place in each category - $7.50

Judges’ favorite overall - $25.00

All entries not placing in above categories - $5.00

Be sure to put this event on your “must see” or “must participate” list for the fair. We hope to see everyone there. It is sure to be a great day!
