AMONGST A FLURRY of Easter weekend activity, competitors travelled with their human owners to the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds in Stockton this past Saturday for the Crow Canyon Cat Club “Easter Parade” Show.

Attendees weaved their way through vendors and staging tables to watch six judges simultaneously assess the cats. A costume contest occurred midway through the show featuring cats dressed as a cowboy, witch and more.
