Easter on Parade on Monument Ave

This time of year is very special in the Richmond area..it is time for the annual Easter on Parade on Monument Ave. The street closes down and everyone comes out to parade their Easter bonnets. And GPA-Richmond leads the Pet Bonnet contest every year to encourage people to dress up their pets..and boy do they ever!! It is always a great event!
Dogs of all shapes, colors and sizes come out to show off their Easter best..
These aren't dogs but they came out to enjoy the day anyway!

And the winner of the pet bonnet contest...
But this blog is all about the greyhounds.
