OCTOBER 29th -- PARADE PARTY

The Statue of Liberty dedication ceremony culminated in a parade through New York City on this day in 1886. In a spontaneous gesture, office workers began throwing shredded ticker tape from their windows. It marked the first appearance of confetti in a parade venue.

Tip: Go ahead, do it. Make some confetti! Celebrate the weather, your wonderful family or something that makes you smile. Have your family gather all of your pets & stuffed animals to be the spectators. Create parade floats or costumes out of household items & let the festivities begin. Weather permitting, take your celebration outside. Need something easier? Wake your children up by tossing confetti on their beds & celebrating the freedom that the Statue of Liberty represents.
