RANCHO SANTA FE — Helen Woodward Animal Center will hold its first Mardi Paws Parade Feb. 12. Pets and their owners can dress up in Mardi Gras costumes and join the free parade of animals, including dogs, cats, sheep and goats, around the center grounds 11 a.m. to noon. Participants can create parade floats using small wagons or pet strollers.
A contest will be held for “Best Dressed Mardi Gras King and Queen,” and pictures will be taken against a New Orleans style-background. Feline friends can enter a “Fat Cat” photo contest with entries voted on by parade participants and photos posted on the center’s social media sites. The first place winner receives a night at the center’s Club Pet.
Fee for Best Dressed contest is $10 per entry; proceeds support the center’s adoptions department. Fat Cat photos should be emailed to reginab@animalcenter.org.
The event is across from the center’s administration building at 6461 El Apajo Road.
