Carrying the Torch Pawlympic Pawrade!!

Welcome to the Opening Ceremonies of the 2016 
Blogville Pawlympics!!! 
This evening we are going to watch as the Blogville 2016 Mayoral Candy Dates carry the torch to the Pawlympic Stadium. Once at the stadium, Mayors Murphy and Stanley will use the torch to light the Pawlympic Cauldron, signaling the official start of the Blogville Pawlympics!

Here come the candy dates now!!!
Christmas will carry the torch first, handing it off to Lexi. Lexi will then hand it off to Arty and Arty will carry it into the stadium!!
All Candy Dates will have their Vice Mayoral Candy Dates with them for support!

Make sure to visit Christmas HERE

Is that music we hear???
Yes it is!! Look, it's the MacLowland Band!!
Sweet William, Kismet, Dui, Daisy, Bentley and Sully!

OH! OH! Lexi just walked up and is passing the torch to Arty!!
It's nice to see the running mates being so supportive, don't you think??
