It was a perfect day for the 20th Annual Canine Costume parade, and as usual, a sterling sample of Jamaica Plain’s creativity and dog lovers.
Many thanks to those who made the event possible: Our SPONSORS – TCB The Cooperative Bank and Polkadog Bakery; our judges – Jonathan Levine (JP Animal Clinic), Juniper (Asst Mgr at JP’s Polkadog Bakery location), Rep. Sam Montaño (15th Suffolk), and Jackie Cain (editor of TimeOut Boston); JP Honk, who led our parade down Centre Street; Mark Wylie from the Instagram account @jamaicaplaindogs; a whole host of volunteers who helped guide the pooches to the red carpet; and of course, EVERYONE who came to watch!
