It's about the cutest canine Halloween happening anywhere
Patti Pietschmann
I just got this press release and it's so adorable had to run it:
Prepare to be terrier-fied! Fetch a costume for Fido and head to The High Line Hotel's annual Dog Costume Parade, where your pup could win the grand prize - the Golden Sneaker Award. Starting at 10 a.m. on Sunday, October 28, face painters, Halloween craft stations, a professional pumpkin carver and treats will trick out the hotel's front garden in anticipation of the Dog Costume Parade beginning at 11:30 a.m. The spooky soiree is entirely free for guests and our Chelsea community.
The day's fur-ocious festivities:
- 10 AM - Doors open for dogs and humans to enjoy face painting, crafting and snacks. Dog refreshments will be provided by Lord Jameson Dog Patisserie, a local organic dog treat company.
- 11 AM - Costumed canines line up for preliminary judging. Categories include the Golden Sneaker Award (top costume), the Corn Dog Award (funniest) and the Hot Dog Award (most stylish).
- 11:15 AM -The 20 most creative costumes will move on to round two.
- 11:30 AM - The top 20 dogs will prance the runway in front of an influential panel of judges - Sarah Goldberger, founder of Lord Jameson Dog Patisserie; Paul Brady, editor at Skift; and a special media guest.
- 12 PM - Actor/model emcees Adrianne Hick (Les Miserables National Tour) and Andrew Foote (Jekyll & Hyde World Tour) will award the prizes. The top three winners will receive a gift basket from Lord Jameson Dog Patisserie
When the final winning canine is crowned, the party isn't over: The hotel will be handing out candy to neighborhood trick-or-treaters from 4 PM to 7 PM on October 31. Halloween is a frightfully fun time of year at The High Line Hotel, which prides itself on free events for its beloved community. Next up: the Christmas Tree-Lighting Ceremony and the Easter Party and Petting Zoo. For more information, visit www.thehighlinehotel.com/dogparade. About The High Line Hotel: Nestled within a cluster of landmarked buildings in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood sits The High Line Hotel, an 1895 red brick Collegiate Gothic jewel originally built as student housing for the General Theological Seminary. A peaceful sanctuary, the hotel offers 60 oversized, light-filled rooms that blend vintage details with modern amenities. Dotted with flickering gas lamps, the boxwood-lined, fountain-accented front garden and back patio are neighborhood gathering spots where locals and their dogs can be found enjoying pink Champagne or espresso from Manhattan's only Intelligentsia outpost - and fast free Wi-Fi. The High Line Hotel is a development of MCR and The Brodsky Organization. |
