The Corgis Are Coming!!
Please contact the King of Corgis himself, Bob Wright at Framewrights, if you and your Corgi are coming to the parade to kick off our Festival. 821-9584.
Have you heard the news about the return of the FAMOUS Corgi Parade? It will be happening this year at Holiday In St. Elmo These smart, cute, festive pups will be competing for trophies while trotting up the avenue in their thick winter coats. The last time there was a corgi parade in St. Elmo there were nearly 60 corgis participating! Even the Queen of England sent her regrets at having to miss the festivities that year (honest! see more below:)
The Corgi Parade is sponsored by Framewrights in St. Elmo. Owner, Bob Wright, tells us how this all got started. Click for more!
