Mark your calendar for this Sunday, December 15, because Santa “Paws” is coming to town. The event takes place on the Boardwalk in Philipsburg starting at 9:00am at the Walter Plantz Square and finishing off near the Sint Rose Arcade in front of Taloula Mango’s / Blue Bitch Bar.
There is no other event that brings together our Friendly Island community with their cheerful doggies in such a festive way – so bring your doggie and bring your camera. It doesn’t matter if your doggie has been naughty or nice, because even the Grinch has a dog! Get creative, get humorous, get cute, get dressed up in holiday attire – and get your “best friend’ your “fur-baby” dressed up too!
Who knows, you may just win the “Best Dressed Doggie Parent” or “Best Dressed Doggie” award. There will also be a great raffle, which means more chances to win some very nice prizes! All dogs should come on a leash – and all kids are welcome with supervision please.
Last year’s event was a success with so many “Santa’s Little Yelpers” – so come early to register yourself with your doggie(s) before the parade leaves.
Happy ‘Howl-idays’!
Registration fee per dog is a donation of US $5. All donations will be for the stray dogs and cats through Animal Defenders St. Maarten. Call +1(721) 553-3116 for more information.
