Another fun off-track event of the Drake Relays is the selection and crowning of the Most Beautiful Bulldog. For the last couple of years, Linda and I have spent a lunch hour watching the parade of curvacious canines walk the runway. Located at Nollen Plaza downtown, it draws a pretty decent crowd. Last year's Most Beautiful Bulldog, Riggs, was on the throne (briefly) monitoring the proceedings. Drake legend Dolph Pulliam of the 1969 Men's Final Four basketball team was Master of Ceremonies again and had a pretty good time with the introductions. Costumes seem to to be the order of the day... and the dogs aren't the only ones getting dressed up. Linda and I both noticed and commented that the pink ballerina / princess bulldog from last year was absent from the line-up this year; evidently coming in second too often takes its toll on a dog. This event really does a nice job of bringing awareness downtown.
