Important Notes:

  • There are no longer affinity group announcements nor a place to put this information on your registration.
  • Photos will only be taken for the winners of the parade.  However, there will be the Poodle Day backdrop for selfies.
  • Winners must be present and have their photo taken for the website to receive their prizes. For more information on the prizes see the information on our terms and conditions page.
  • This year, the Pizza Party at Allegro on Friday night will be all inside the restaurant due to issues at the Barnyard. There will be no outside eating or drinking.
