Military Appreciation GIFTS - We will have a "Military Appreciation Gift Shop" so you can pick out your own gift. Each member of the immediate family in attendance may pick his/her/their own gift out. 1 per person. Must have Military/Government ID!
Each year, we have had a musical guest perform, like Jerome Dean, a former Platter, who performed for the first two years, and in 2019, we had Jesse Labelle, who opened for Garth Brooks and played Stagecoach 2022, DJ Noel in 2021, and and DJ Track Star Staci on 2022.

Jan Savage and Mary Salinas Caraway
We are thrilled to announce that our Pet Costume Contest judges will be Jan Savage and Mary Salinas Caraway for the 3rd year in a row!!!!
This year, we remember their sweet boys who are now in Heaven with Emee the Chi, Sir Ruffles von Vicious & and Bailey the Poway Yorkie, but we happily welcome their pups CinnaBella, Rufflina, and Fritzle von Vicious to the judge's panel!
Thank you, ladies and pups; we greatly appreciate your PAWspertise in judging this year's costume contest! This year is a little different in that we need to have ALL contestants order their tickets in advance; we will have no day-of entries this year.
The 2023 Categories are:
• Best Christmas/Holiday spirit
• Best parade float costume (anything with wheels that’s pushed or pulled)
• Most Creative
Everyone must order a ticket for the contest BEFORE the event, only 1 ticket per entry, not per pet!
