Today is Halloween!

 Today is Halloween as you know, so I will introduce one of Halloween's events in New York. In the East Village, "Tompkins Square", Halloween "dog" parade was held on October 26th! I was surprised to know that, because "dog" is costumed! The event is the largest in US, and was 23rd this year. There were over approximately 300 people who love dogs at that time.

 It had a costume contest. Winner in this contest could get iPad or Broadway Tickets!

Many owners wore costume such as King Kong and the Empire State building with their dogs together, and the venue's people were excited! Winners of the contest were two Chihuahuas dressed as a lobster and a cock. Charlie, he is owner, said ' only in this year, we attended dog parade about 7 times. We won the Championship because the production of this costume and ornaments took more than two weeks and I'm very happy ' (It said on Newspaper site of New York's Economy on October 29th)

 Benefits in this event, including fee of admission and so on, is used by cleaning the park and maintenance costs. I think it is very nice.

 By the way, do you know that Halloween is the event of cerebrating for harvests in fall and ridding evil spirits? They wore Pumpkin because of saving themselves from the evil spirits! But these day, it is a party not meaning as religion.

 Have you decided what costume you will wear yet? Have a good Halloween day!
