If you weren’t able to join us for our Santa Paws Parade & Costume Contest over the weekend, you missed an adorable bunch of dogs (and whimsical dog costumes, too boot). We paraded in our holiday best for coffee lovers at the Coffee & Cordials Festival at Hemisfair, and had a jolly time doing so.
Parade participants came out wagging with holiday cheer as we paraded through Yanaguana at Hemisfair. Festival goers oohed and ahhed at the abundant adorableness.
Our Best Ugly Christmas Sweater Winner
Our Best Doggie-Owner Duo Winner
Our Best In Show Winner
Our guest judges Maricela Guerra of SouthPaw Waggery, Stephanie Garza of Pup Pup and Away, and Tommy McNish of Willie & Roo helped select winners in three categories: Best Ugly Christmas Sweater, Best Doggie-Owner Duo, & Best in Show. Each winner won a gift basket with over $150 in prizes courtesy of the Coffee & Cordials Festival, SouthPaw Waggery, and Pup Pup and Away.
We’re grateful to everyone who came out and helped make our event a success. Our biggest piece of feedback from our first holiday parade? Make it bigger and better so more people (and pups) can enjoy it next year!
We’re looking forward to more events to come in 2020, so stay tuned! Interested in working with us to bring the dog community to your event or business? Let’s chat! Find more photos of this event on our Facebook page.
