This is a fun contest for participants and parade watchers alike. 1999 was our biggest year ever with over 50 participants. The Decorated Cat Contest was sponsored by the Human. The Grand Prize Winner received an ultra Tennisbone, courtesy of the Human. This event is open to all dogs in the neighborhood.
All participants receive a dog bone or cat treat.
Judging is done by the Human. The Dog House, located in the dog pen is where Elum will emcee the 4th of July Parade. The Dog House is also where Dixie, the Independence Day Committee Chairdog over sees the parade. The Dog House is also where the Miss Independence Queen and her Court are seated. Elum, the Emcee of the 4th of July Parade.
