It’s that time of the year again…bunnies, eggs, flowers blooming pets dressed up in funny costumes..you know..it’s Easter!! So that means you need to grab your pet and put him/her in a costume and bring them down to the contest. It’s on Saturday, April 7th at noon. The parade starts at the corner of Annie and S.
