City hosts 37th Pet Parade

The city's Recreation Division will host its 37th Pet Parade at 6 p.m. on Aug. 7 at Highland Park. Registration is free and begins at 5:30 p.m.

Although the Pet Parade has traditionally been an event for youth under the age of 15, an additional category for participants 15 years old and over has been added this year.

Judged categories include biggest pet, smallest pet, pet with the floppiest ears, and pet with the shortest legs. Participants will receive category awards or a goody bag, and there will also be grand prize winners for one boy and one girl.
