Times Square Dog Day Masquerade Tomorrow

Probably too short of a notice, but if you're in New York and looking for an interesting dog activity tomorrow (Sunday, October 23), the Times Square Alliance is presenting the first annual Times Square Dog Day Masquerade. This special event will show off the dogs of the city in costumes that evoke Times Square past and present.

Dogs will compete in three categories: Historical Hounds (costumes featuring historical figures from Times Square such as the VJ Day Sailor and Nurse, Ladies of the night or a street preacher); Current Canine Characters (current characters that populate Times Square like the Naked Cowboy, tourists or New Years Eve celebrants); and Broadway Bow-Wows (Broadway diva dogs and other theatre impresarios and characters such as Billy Flynn, Phantom of the Opera, or Cats).

This special event will also spotlight Animal Haven’s Adopt-A-Pet program, which will be held on Wednesday, October 26, 2005 from 10am – 2pm at the Times Square Information Center on 7th Avenue between 46th and 47th.
