DOGS! Dunedin, Florida: BOWser Games And Mardi Parti For Pups II

DOGS! Dunedin, Florida: BOWser Games II
To Recap: On Saturday, February 9th, Dunedin totally went to the dogs! :) In the morning, there was the Mardi Parti for Pups at Pioneer Park in Downtown Dunedin. Later in the morning, the BOWser Games started, over at Highlander Park. It was all about dogs from 8 AM until 3 PM in the afternoon. Lots of fun for dog lovers!

Here if Florida, I just don't expect to see large hairy monsters like the Siberian Husky? Malamute? above. But there he was, strutting his stuff at the BOWser Games in Dunedin. Now, I don't know that he lives in Dunedin, or Clearwater, but I have to guess that he lives somewhere here in Pinellas County. I did not get a chance to ask the man what his air conditioning bill is like. Let me ask you, do you think they look a little alike, Man and his Dog? (How about those Collies in the top left!)

At first I thought I had just caught the Dalmation, below, taking a break from having lots of fun at the Mardi Parti for Pups. Then I noticed his taped up paw. My heart went out to him. So I was glad he still got to attend the event, and see all the other dogs. So many of them seemed so excited to be able to get together with so many other dogs at one time. I mean hundreds of dogs! (Like the little guy on the bench, looking over the Dalmation.)

Later in the morning, the BOWser Games started, over at Highlander Park. It was all about dogs from 8 AM until 3 PM in the afternoon. Lots of fun for dog lovers!

The handsome fellow above was chilling out at the BOWser Games when I arrived in the afternoon. The jaunty canine below was strutting his stuff at the Mardi Parti in the morning. It was amazing to see so many dogs, so many different kinds of dogs, all in one place (two places, really, I guess). Be sure to notice the shoes in each of the photos today. Over the next several days, I will be posting some of my favorite pictures from the two events. I hope you'll come back to see them. :)

Dunedin Florida - Old Fashioned Christmas Fun & Food

Dunedin Florida: Old Fashioned Christmas: Children On Train Dunedin Florida: Old Fashioned Christmas: Children With Old Fashioned ToysDid I mention all the fun for the kids? They had a children's craft booth, a place they could make their own s'mores. There were old fashioned toys like the hoop, and the walking cans and even stilts! As if all that were not cool enough, they had a train running up and down Main Street, just for the kids! Way cool!

Of course, you may be asking yourself "But what about Santa Claus, Wayne, where was he?" Well, he was there alright. The top left picture in the table below shows one of his helper Elves. If you look closely just left of the Elf's hat, in about the middle of the picture (click on it to enlarge it), you will see his face peeking through the mob. That's right, he was there, but if you were not a determined parent with a child in tow, you were NOT getting near him! :D

I am wrapping up the series on the Old Fashioned Christmas in Downtown Dunedin, Florida, with the table of pictures below. Click on them for large, easy to enjoy, images. There is one on the bottom left of the horse and carriage ride that was available. The other four give you an idea of the variety of edibles that were available. Just getting this post ready is making me hungry all over again. The booths included Funnel Cakes, Chick-Fil-A, Papa John's Pizza, and Kettle Korn, just to name a few.

This was a great event for anyone here on a Florida vacation, scouting relocation to Dunedin, or even just out for a nice evening with the family. An excellent event for locals and visitors alike.

Dunedin Florida Downtown - Christmas Celebration

Dunedin Florida Downtown - Christmas CelebrationFirst, I must say, if any of you would like to see a daytime shot of the bridge I featured on Bridge day, click here.

The Old Fashioned Christmas Celebration was a big hit. Lots and lots of people having a good time. There were all sorts of food choices, and plenty of live entertainment. You cannot forget the children at Christmas time, and there was plenty for them too.

Santa was sitting with the little ones to have their pictures taken with him. There was a whole section for kids where they played old fashioned games, made crafts and so much more. In fact, down the side street where Erika's and The Enchanted Branch are, they had a whole second street festival setup for kids, where they played with 'old fashioned' toys like hoops, and walking on cans, and walking on stilts. It seemed to be a great time.

There was a concert in the Pioneer Park band shell. Very nice, with different 'acts' from a variety of groups throughout this area. Most merchants were open, providing everything from free drinks to information about their products.

Oh, and let's not forget the carriage and hay wagon rides!! Yes, and even a little train for the kiddies to ride! And believe me, there was more that I cannot remember at the moment, but as I review the pictures for posting, you will hear about anything I forgot. In the meantime, the pictures below include a boy getting a test drive on an old High Wheel bicycle; happy people getting a ride on a hay wagon; and happy dog owners enjoying their happy dogs! There were quite a few dogs enjoying the festivities, and all seemed very well behaved.

City Of Dunedin Florida - Pioneer Park Bandshell

I know this is in Pioneer Park, in the City of Dunedin, but I am not sure one would call it a band shell. Stage perhaps, covered stage? Either way, it is a lovely structure, and it looks great in this park downtown. I can also tell you that they have a Green Market here, and show movies in the park here from time to time. Usually older movies. Some recent titles have been Arsenic and Old Lace, as well as Casablanca.

From here, many shops and restaurants are in walking distance. They are too many to name, but some that I have mentioned before include Casa Tina, Cafe Alfresco, The Enchanted Branch Gift Gallery, and Palm Latitudes. In the future, you will see more and more of these places, as I do my best to capture life in Dunedin, Florida in pixels, for you.
