2008 St. Patrick's Day Parade, Seaside Heights
Democratic Dogs Wow the Crowd

You're looking at the back end of Darwin, a 170-pound Great Pyrenees (Linda Paans of Toms River, owner),  the front end of Dakota Blue, a German Shepherd (Anita Clark and Joe Webb of Point Pleasant, owners), and the top of Bartley, a Jack Russell Terrier (see contest winners). Our First Annual Best Dressed "Irish" Dog Contest was a smashing success and, as you can see, a crowd pleaser. For a contest winners, click here.

And We Had People Marchers Too.

In the front row, that's Kim Rothenberg with the American flag, Bob Reilly with the drum, a piper, Andrew Tice (a member of the Shamrock and Thistle Pipes and Drums), and Greg Heizler with the Irish flag. There's also an invisible guy in a green suit who can only be seen by true Democrats at heart. For more parade pictures, click here.
