At least until they’re actually taking place, parades don’t get me very excited, I have to confess–unless I can watch large paper mache puppets being made for them by talented artists such as Ken Polinskie and Dan Rupe. (Long after I lost all interest in the Macys Thanksgiving parade, I continued to go to West 81st Street the night before to watch the famous floats being inflated.Talk about fluffing!) The two are busily putting together a brilliant collection of (what else?) Wizard of Oz- inspired ones for the always triumphant Hudson Pride parade, which takes place on June 16. –Scott Baldinger


The sculptures are wonderful. Will they be auctioned or for sale at some point?
