Please don't try to express your cleverness, or your political statements, or your abstract concepts. I propose a rule for this contest: no cardboard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-87612681101813932852018-10-29T21:26:04.233-04:002018-10-29T21:26:04.233-04:00THIS is why it was moved to the amphitheater.

This is why it can't be held in the Tompkins Park anymore. I am glad it was moved there and hope the dog owners had a magnificent time.

However I decided to leave after the 191 contestant hit the stage and the line of costumed owners and dogs extended into the horizon. noble neolanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15721532867336440260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-22384278322485404972018-10-29T14:42:53.299-04:002018-10-29T14:42:53.299-04:00great turn out, great job finding an alternative l...great turn out, great job finding an alternative location and sponsor, great costumes, great times!<br /><br />This is one of the few chances where everyone leaves happy. A very cool tradition/event is kept alive, and the EVGrumps can be happy that the parade now has <i>zero</i> impact on the neighborhood. win/win/win/win/cute dogsMrNiceGuynoreply@blogger.com
