2012 Bird Dog Parade
Pheasants Forever is pleased to announce that we will have a Bird Dog Parade to kick-off the Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic in Kansas City, MO. The event is unique to Pheasant Fest and highly attended. We are looking for over 40 unique breeds of Bird Dogs to walk on a stage and parade to the ribbon cutting to kick-off Pheasant Fest 2012.
The Bird Dog Parade will be held on Friday, February 17, 2012 and we anticipate the parade to be of interest to both the local and national media. We hope you are available to join us in representing your breed.
The Parade will line up in the Kansas City Convention Center beginning at 11:30 am on Friday. Each breed will be given a sign with their breed name which we ask each leader/owner of the dog(s) to wear. In order for us to know which breed to announce and in which order to announce them.
Attention: Pre-registration for the Bird Dog Parade is now closed, as we have reached our maximum capacity.
We will keep in touch with all participants via email as we get closer to Pheasant Fest in Kansas City. Please make sure you have your email address on the sign-up sheet. Please contact Brian Essling (bessling@pheasantsforever.org) with any additional questions.
