The all-dog Krewe of Barkus rolls again

The canine Krewe of Barkus has announced its theme for the 2005 Mardi Gras parade. This year it's "Hairy Pawter and the Scorcerer's Bone." The all-dog Krewe will "Pawty" at Armstrong Park on Sunday, January 30th from 10:30a.m. The parade will leave Armstrong Park at 2p.m. and go through the Vieux Carre (French Quarter), ending up at the VIP Reviewing Stand at Good Friends Bar, corner Dauphine and St. Ann, where VIPs (and those who desire to be VIPs) will toast the Royal Court. If you're a pet lover and especially a dog lover, you'll love this Mardi Gras parade.
