2008 Krewe of Barkus
"A Street Dog Named Desire"

Batman.jpgBatman.jpgSponsored by The Animal Medical Supply, The Krewe of Barkus is full of just that....lots of barks and laughter.  Each year, Meridian's finest dogs come downtown to participate in the Krewe of Barkus.  The theme for the Krewe of Barkus parade is, "A Steet Dog Named Desire".  The Krewe lines up in the back parking lot of WranglerKreweofBarkus015.jpg Furniture (on 4th Street).  At 10:00am, the Krewe parades down 23rd Avenue to Front Street and takes a left on 22nd Avenue. Batman.jpg The Krewe prances by the reviewing stand where judges will rate the members of the Krewe on manners and costume.  Many Krewe parents will also be in costume.  Batman.jpgThe parade ends on the corner of 7th Street and 22nd Avenue as the Krewe members and parents come back into Dumont Plaza to await the crowning of the King and KreweofBarkus016.jpgQueen, as well as, mingle with the common folk.  The money raised from this event goes to East Mississippi Animal Rescue to provide for our less fortunate Krewe Members.  To participate in the Krewe of Barkus, clink on the link below.  For more information about the Krewe of Barkus, contact Shea Few at Meridian Plus, 601-934-6034.
