The Mystic Krewe of K-9 Kritters Royalty will be chosen Saturday, February 18, 2012, at the fifth annual fundraiser for the Baldwin County Humane Society (BARC!) at Magnolia by the Gulf Small Animal Clinic, 19930 Baldwin County 6 in Gulf Shores.
Donation of $20 per family goes towards medical care for the 58 dogs and 51 cats who defied the odds and survived mass animal cruelty at the Purple Hearted Puppies shelter in Summerdale and the Dueitt’s residence in Robertsdale.
Registration is at 10am; costume judging starts 11am. Parade participants will be scored on costume creativity, originality, behavior and showmanship.
Royalty crowned will be King, Queen, Prince, Princess and Court Jester. Judges will also select Honorable Loyal Royal canines to be part of the Krewe.
Each member of the royal court will walk in the Gulf Shores Mardi Gras parade Tuesday, February 21, 2012, at 10am. Dr. Lee Ann McGill, the owner of the only veterinary clinic in Gulf Shores, has been selected as the Grand Marshall and wants the Mystic Krewe of K-9 Kritters to lead the parade with her.

Gulf Shores, Ala – December 8, 2011 - Over the past week, the City of Gulf Shores hosted two of its annual Christmas events.
Christmas Open House on December 1 and the Christmas Parade and Beach Celebration on December 3 drew large crowds from across the region. Each event added some exciting new twists while sticking to their traditional, home town feel.
Christmas Open House annually invites families to experience each of the City facilities while enjoying refreshments, crafts, games and live music. However, this year's event featured a new, exciting conclusion.
The Mobile Symphony Holiday Brass performed a variety of holiday tunes before joining the Gulf Shores High School Band for their final two songs. Not to be out done, Brent Burns performed a few of his holiday favorites before capping the night with children from the City's After School Program.
The 2nd Annual Christmas Parade and Beach Celebration brought over 45 festive floats from around the Gulf Coast, while the lighting ceremony at the public beach made a splash of its own.
After watching the traditional Christmas tree suffer in the salt air last holiday season, this year, the City decided to think a little outside of the box. The lighting ceremony featured one of the iconic Gulf Shores lifeguard stands surrounded by three beautiful palms, each covered in lights, wreaths and bows and was truly a sight to see.
Judging by the families who made their way to Gulf Shores over the past week, these Christmas events won't be going anywhere anytime soon.
