The Parkville Main Street Committee is looking for artists and crafters for the weekly endeavor set to run during the spring concert series.

Dog owners met at the Lavender Avenue parking lot Saturday morning for contests, ice cream and a nice stroll.
Check out these photos from the inaugural Parkville Pup Crawl, submitted by Parkville Main Street Committee member and Greater Parkville Community Council president Ruth Baisden. Dog owners showed up to get their four-legged friends ice cream from Tiki's Ice Cream Truck for Dogs, compete in contests to determine Parkville's cutest and ugliest pups, and go for a walk. In addition dogs were given prizes for best trick and best costume. The event was organized by Parkville's Main Street Committee. Did you attend the Parkville Pup Crawl?
