Do Dah Day and Pet Cachet


Postmarks invites everyone to join us Saturday, May 15, at Caldwell and Rhodes Parks in Birmingham for the 31st annual Do Dah Day Festival. There will be food, music, and of course the pet parade, which starts at 11:01. Participation is free, so bring your pets and the kids. We'll have so much fun, and the proceeds go towards animal rescue and adoption.

What makes this year even more exciting is that the Alabama District will join in the festivities at a Postal booth. Dress your pet in Postal garb and meet us there, where we will be taking pictures, showing off our own pets, selling the new pet adoption stamps, and introducing the Do Dah Day pet cachet, which will be on sale for the very first time. Once again, Postmarks' Marvin Owens designed the cachet, which will be printed on silk and contains a specially-made postmark. Here's a preview:
