Big year for dinos

October
27

I noticed a lot of little dinosaurs at Sunday’s Halloween Parade in Nyack (nice turnout, too). I’ve heard that pirates were the big costume this year, but I saw plenty from the toddler set stuffed into stegosaurus and other dino-style furry little costumes. dinoguy.jpgAnd then, former South Nyack resident Winston Seiler is credited with finding a “trample surface” of dinosaur footprints in the Arizona-Utah desert.

Coincidence? Uh, yeah.

Anyway, the parade Sunday (pushed back from Saturday when the weather predictions called for windy rain—and was accurate!) was fab. There have been years where there seemed to be more marchers than spectators, but this year, the crowd was big, enthusiastic and mostly costumed, too. And it was a nice fall late afternoon to come out and see friends and neighbors in their Halloween finest.
