Seaside Rotary’s 1st ‘Yappy Hour’ Pet Parade a Huge Hit!

31 October 2022 – The Rotary Club of Playa del Carmen Seaside held its 1st Annual “Yappy Hour” Dog Parade and Costume Contest on Sunday, October 30 and the results from the judges are in. The event was a rousing success with dozens of people and their canine companions coming to participate in the contest, vote for their favorite “Top Yapper” or just watch and enjoy the show! The lucky dogs went home with treats and prizes and their owners won prizes donated by our wonderful local Puerto Aventuras businesses!

This event raised funds for two of Seaside Rotary’s community programs. “Kick4Kids”, founded in 2013, is an ongoing sneaker drive to put good sturdy shoes and sneakers on the feet of children whose families cannot afford them and “Feeding the Future”, an initiative founded in 2017 which currently feeds over 70 children good nutritious meals, 6 days a week.

Support from businesses and individuals of events like this and our annual Riviera Maya Chili Cook-Off allows our club to continue these valuable programs and help more at-risk families and children in our community.
