With all the annual and first-time (especially this year) competitions to spring about at Coney Island, the little furry sweethearts can't be left behind.  From the quirkiest little creature pets to the usual cast of cats and dogs, "Coney Island's Sweetheart 2010 Pet Pageant" is sure to be a best in show!

From Coney Island USA:

Coney Island, NY, August 2, 2010 – In one of the most inspiring and historical sites of entertainment in New York City, nightlife starlettes Sequinette and Bambi the Mermaid present the first edition of the Annual Coney Island Sweetheart Pet Pageant.

Inviting our smaller, cuter, and furrier friends to join us in the spotlight, this family oriented event will bring New York's cutest, most beloved and well-dressed creatures great and small under one roof. The pageant is open to all pets - dogs, cats, birds, fish, turtles, snakes, rodents and any other creature that would enjoy a day at the sideshow. Audience members are strongly encouraged, but not required to bring their pets.

All pets in costume will be eligible to enter the costume contest! A fantastic show will be put on by the contestants and members of the Coney Island Sideshow at this kid-friendly day-time event at the beach. In addition to all of these great festivities, an eagle will be making a special appearance! Raffle tickets with fantastic prizes will be sold to raise money for BARC Animal Shelter. Proceeds go to BARC and Coney Island USA.
