June 18th saw our annual pet parade, live dance from Sleepy Hollow Performing Arts Center, music from Four Piece Racket and an impressive offering of vendors and specials and late night openings from our stores and restaurants.It was a wonderful night in Tarrytown.
The weather was glorious and the streets were teeming with people and their fury companions, including a few brave cats and even a guinea pig. There was fun to be had outside TF Andrew as everyone waited for the parade to begin. Tarrytown's own Bark & Meow sponsored a host of games, like 'hot dog bobbing' and 'musical newspapers' all being hotly contested, and eagerly watched by the assembled crowds.The parade made its way down Main Street to South Washington, where all participants received a ribbon and more games were held, again with the kind sponsorship of Bark & Meow. The winners and categories were as follows:
Best Dressed - Abigail
Smiliest Face - Louis
