New York April Fools Day Event

New York April Fools Day EventTomorrow at 12 noon, New York will begin its 24th annual April Fools Day parade down 5th Avenue. The April Fools Day parade starts at 5th Avenue and 59th street and continues all the way down to Union Square, where there is a big party with free peanut butter snacks. The parade exists because parade organizers feel most of us in New York fail to recognize the importance of April 1st, the day designated to commemorate the perennial folly of mankind.
A Bernie Madoff lookalike will be the Grandmaster of the event, followed by some floats of the infamous companies that have recently been in the news for destroying our economy.
I have been here 6 years and I've never heard of an April Fools Day Parade down 5th Avenue. I am skeptical, but don't let that stop you from attending.
