are ghosts, witches, monsters, or anything else they want.

This parade is 33 years old. But this year, the Halloween Dog Parade almost
stopped. The park is too small for 8,000 people. Moving the parade to some
streets costs a lot of money.
今年第33屆的遊行差一點點被取消，因為公園太小無法容納8000個人。移動到街上遊行很花錢的。
But many people wanted to see the Halloween Dog Parade. So the parade will be
on some streets. And a dog food company is paying for the parade!
