Kingsburg's Swedish Festival Parade

What a day!

Thank you to all that came, sniffed, donated, waddled and managed to survive our Valley heat.  
Our first Waddle was a tremendous success!

We were awarded a trophy for Best Novelty Entry and will post a picture of it this coming week.

If you have good pictures of the day please send them to BRCC and we'll get them posted.

If you have any suggestions for next year, please let us know.  We hope to Waddle bigger and better each year.

Check back for photos of the Waddle.  They will be posted as they are received.

Once again thanks to all for your great attitudes, heat tolerance and patience.  An especially BIG, DROOLY
THANK YOU to DIANE BENNET for organizing our first Waddle and starting a Basset Community event that
will continue for years to come.
