Despite it being SuperBowl Sunday, despite the snow, thousands of people (and dogs, and cats, and rabbits) once again made it down to Soulard for the annual Krewe of Barkus Beggin' Pet Parade, allegedly the largest animal parade in North America. The parade proper, which kicked off at 1 p.m., had a cheery vibe thanks to the sunny weather, not to mention a float with Kevin Bacon riding on it, because, well, dogs love bacon. Luckily no dogs took a bite out of Kevin Bacon, probably because he pelted the crowd with many bags of dog treats.
The parade was followed, as tradition goes, by the Weiner Dog Derby, and a performance by The Bacon Brothers Band. Here are some snaps of the parade proper.
