P.U.G.S and the Hampton Roads Pug Meet up are marching our pugs in the parade in Norfolk on November 19, 2011.. It's a really big deal here. 100,000 people watch it downtown and many more watch the live broadcast and reruns.
The parade route is about 2 miles but moves pretty fast. The theme this year is "It's a Sweet Life".
We are Pug Savers, like the life saver candy. The parade starts at 7 and we should be done by about 9.pm
Please show your support and come out and watch the pugs parade!
