Corky Nightingale's Wag, Woof, Walk Canine Fashion Show

Once again, it
looks like Huntington
is going to the dogs, as Corky Nightingale’s Wag, Woof , Walk Canine Fashion
Show is featured as part of the Fourth Annual Huntington Awareness Day
activities on Saturday, September 7.  New
to the festivities this year, Corky Nightingale's Wag, Woof, Walk Canine Fashion
Show, a parade-within-the-parade, will see canines come together to
celebrate their breed diversity. 
Spectators are invited to line New
York Avenue to see canine "Super Models"
with their owners show off their outfits down the "New York Avenue
Cat Walk" wearing a variety of styles which represent their heritage and
breed history. (Imagine French poodles wearing berets, German
Shepherds wearing lederhosen and Scottish Terriers sporting kilts. Mixed
breeds are encouraged to combine outfits.)



“We’re very
excited to be including our four-legged friends and family members in this
year’s Huntington Awareness Day activities,” said Alyssa

Nightingale, President of Nightingale PR.  “Long Islanders, especially within the Huntington community love their
dogs.  They are an important part of our
families and of our community, and this is a wonderful and fun way to celebrate
them as part of the diversity of our town,” she continued.


First held in
2010, Huntington Awareness Day has become an annual tradition, with thousands
of people turning out to celebrate the community’s unity, diversity and
solidarity.  As in past years, bands,
floats, vintage cars, service groups and local merchants will join the march
through Huntington Station from West Hills Road to Church Street,
ending at the fair in the municipal parking lot between Railroad Street and Church Street.  The fair will include performances by local
artists and booths offering crafts and services.  The event takes place from 11:00 a.m. – 6:00
p.m.
