On March 2nd, we are off to the races during the Krewe of Barkus Mardi Gras Dog Parade and Costume Contest as Downtown McKinney calls on all four-legged canine friends and their best buddies to share in the excitement. Embarking on its 12th Annual successful run, Krewe of Barkus 2014 promises to be a howling hoot. In past years, more than 200 dogs participated in the parade alongside over 4,500 spectators in awe of costumes, creatures and creativity.
